Get started with Kotlin

Last modified: 11 October 2024

Before you start working with Kotlin, make sure that the Kotlin plugin is enabled. The plugin is bundled with Aqua and is activated by default. If the plugin is not activated, enable it on the Plugins settings page  CtrlAlt0S as described in Install plugins.

Aqua provides first-class support for Kotlin. It includes Kotlin-specific project templates, coding assistance, refactorings, debugging, analysis tools, and so on. Most of the Java tools are available for Kotlin, so, for example, if you know how to use Java debugger or refactorings, your experience will be enough to use these in Kotlin. In this topic, you will find the instructions to get started with Kotlin in Aqua.
