Follow-up: Mass conversion of Java code to Kotlin doesn't work... and to make matters worse, the converter has a bad habit of breaking things. Ah well... it's not like these problems aren't fixable. The two common ones I see often are mislabeling things that should be "var" as "val", and upgrading "getter" methods to Kotlin's enhanced property syntax but not changing places where those new properties are accessed to the new style. It's just a pain to fix these manually. Maybe a trip into JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA is in order?
