why didn’t add `@JvmStatic` when converting java file to kotlin?
this result occurs compile error

The convert from Java to Kotlin, is not perfect, it cannot know if the static function will still be used in Java code, hence no need to add `@JvmStatic` , I guess it's more of an optional step, or an edge case that hasn't been actually considered.

Said this you should always check the resulting Kotlin file for any inconsistency, as already mentioned transforming it is not perfect so there might be still things you'd like to change afterwards.

If you use the old kotlin version, it automatically attaches the @JvmStatic annotation.
i think it changed recently.

The thing is, it turned your class into an `object` because everything in it was static. This makes it a singleton. Therefore the problem is not really in the missing `@JvmStatic` but rather in the access on java side. Use `Shortlists.INSTANCE.sorted(...)` instead

yep. i understand your answer. but I wonder why it changed to break the compilation
