Because it's a Java method. It's one of the limitations of interop.

thanks 🙂 no way to get around this huh? unless i use the Kotlin implementation.

Maybe a overloaded version in Java could get round this

how would that look like?

oh ok! thanks 🙂

do you know if it works if java code was compiled with

-parameters

?

I don’t think that Kotlin supports Java named arguments even with -parameters key. probably it’s intentionally, because param names are not considered in Java as backward incompatible change, so make such code less stable in terms of backward compatibilitty
