Is it possible to implement an

expect

class in JVM with a property

path

and the extending class has a method

getPath()

? (I'm talking about

File

class). I'm trying something like

actual class MyFile extends <http://java.io|java.io>.File

and MyFile has a property

path

.

i think that works if it’s a typealias instead of an extends

That would work if the methods weren't a little bit different and I wasn't able to create actual extension methods to that typealias

best i could come up with:

actual class MyFile(pathname: String) : File(pathname) {
  actual val myPath: String
    get() = path
}

That's what I came up with, and one can't override getPath as it's final, I wouldn't like to call it mypath as it works everywhere and I wouldn't like to have a backing object as that means 2 objects every time it is instantiated but it seems is what I'll have to do
