01/29/2023, 4:22 PMwhen converting java file to kotlin file, intellij is automagically converting java method getSomething(), setSomething(), isSomething() to a var something. While it may be a good idea in theory for trivial code, it can create a lot of problem and there is a cascade of inheritance, abstract class, overriding, a mix of java and kotlin class.
i tried my best for a while but now i have tons of “Inherited platform declaration clash” with a mix of var and fun/method and abstract and override ...
is there a way to tell intellij to stop changing all the get/set method to a var, and keep them as a get/set fun instead ?

because of all the getSomething kotlinification

01/29/2023, 6:56 PMi managed it somehow but this is really rage inducing. There is really a need to either “stop removing get/set” or “fix the failed conversion of getter/setter”. in any case, this should be configurable.

01/30/2023, 11:37 AMi even have a method called GetValue() and SetValue(), which is blindly converted to “value”. i let you imagine all the problems it create 😄
