2. it’s all bytecode in the end, hence it should behave similarly, though as per #1, i never tried

09/24/2021, 10:08 AMI agree with Nicolas. To clarify, in Kotlin (unlike Java) the directory structure of class files does not depend on the directory structure of source files. And since Spring only looks at class files, it shouldn't matter where you place your source files.

I haven't tried it though, because almost no tools support the Kotlin structure anyways (I'm a Maven user).
