guys, I need to emulate java static method in my kotlin code. I tried to use compain object, but seems it’s a wrong choice:

class MyClass {
	companion object {
		fun myCoolStaticMethod() {

		}
	}
}

Java library (junit 5), which expects existing of static method myCoolStaticMethod tell me, that there is no such method in MyClass What I’am doing wrong?

evkaky: it only gets exported as an actual static function if you annotate the function with

@JvmStatic

wow, thank you, my kotlin-friend

Kotlin doesn't support static methods, this should only be used to make Kotlin code work with Java code.

Yes, by doing this you lose out on some of the nice things that you can do because the functions are non-static. Namely, that you can have method inheritance and that they can be implemented on your companion object off a superclass or interface
