I’m having an issue with the following.
I wan to get a Java generated class from my annotation. I pass Int, for instance, it works, but not the class that I would like to get to generate my file.
Is this feasible, to get UserPreferences class?

`@Target(AnnotationTarget.CLASS)
annotation class WithProto(val value: Array&lt;KClass&lt;*&gt;&gt;)`

`@WithProto(value = [UserPreferences::class, Int::class])`

I based my example on this <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/annotations.html#constructors|https://kotlinlang.org/docs/annotations.html#constructors>,
Or would it be possible somehow cast the the kstype to an actual object?

if you want to get a class, maybe you can just try to use reflection? But from what you described, `UserPreferences` is generated, which means it is in source rather than in classpath, therefore reflection won’t work.

if you have a `Builder` class declared inside `UserPreferences` class, you should be able to get `UserPreferences` class from `parent` of `Builder`

Ah! That’s interesting. I tried that and got `null` . Have to check what I missed. Thanks a lot
