I'm trying to create a HashMap that aggregates a bunch of objects, and these objects use the init blocks to register themselves by adding themselves into the HashMap.  Unfortunately, it appears to me that Kotlin is thinking that since I never access the objects directly (by name) that they should never initialize, which leaves my HashMap empty

care to post some code? maybe make a [gist](<https://gist.github.com/>) or code snippit?

@Serializes(Sign::class)
internal object SignSerializer : BlockStateSerializer() {

    init {
        val annotation = javaClass.getAnnotation(Serializes::class.java) ?:
                throw IllegalStateException("Child class ${javaClass.simpleName} not annotated with @Serializes!")
        val blockSerializer = this as? InPlaceSerializer&lt;BlockState&gt; ?:
                throw IllegalStateException("Child class ${javaClass.simpleName} serializes non-block type.")

        serializersByType.put(annotation.type, blockSerializer)
    }

can't seem to create Snippet... that functionality does not appear to be exposed in Slack in comment replies =/
