AnonymousClassPatchPlugin For Kotlin

[wilgaboury]

I'm currently trying to use HotswapAgent for a kotlin project running on the JVM and while it works great for the most part, rearranging lambdas/anonymous classes in a file almost always causes class hierarchy errors. For normal Java hot swapping, I think this issue is handled by the AnonymousClassPatchPlugin. From looking at it's code, it relies on the assumption that anonymous classes will always have a name of the form <class name>$<number>, but this is not true in kotlin (which uses the format <class name>$<method name>($<number>)+. For my own purposes, I am planning to make a modified version of the plugin that will work for kotlin, but before I do, I wanted to ask here if this is an issue that has already been solved.

Hi, thanks for report. This problem is new for me and it has not been resolved in HotswapAgent yet, it would be great if you could share your soulution!

Thanks. If I can get something working, I will certainly try and contribute it to this project.

That feels similar to what I found there #420 (comment), it's about AnonymousClassInfos.lastModified, I thought this was fixed.

Are you using the latest JBR and latest HA build.

I was using the latest JBR and HA builds. I actually ended up migrating all my Kotlin code to Java for other reasons, so I haven't spent much time investigating this.
