Just asking a silly question for a friend of my friend think smart. Is there a plugin to convert a Kotlin module into Java module that can run without issues? The decompile function of Android Studio can generate Java files. But they have a lot of IDE highlights and imports from kotlin.jvm package, which does not seem to work.

But why does the friend of your friend want to do that ? 😁

The excuse I heard is that s/he is working on a part-time job, so s/he does not want to learn Kotlin .
Please tell me the task is impossible 🙏.

@Ruckus Thank you, Sir. You just freed me from Mission Impossible 🙏.

there is a plugin for intellij that will show you the expected java-code from some kotlin-code. But it doesn't replace calls to the kotlin stdlib w/ calls to the java stdlib. So event if you wanted to run that java code, you'll still need the kotlin run-time.
