Technical requirements

Throughout this book,  all the code examples will run with JDK 8. If you are new to the JVM world, you can get the latest version from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.

In Chapter 7, Null Safety, Reflection, and Annotations, the examples will draw heavily on classes provided by the reflection API. This API is available through the kotlin-reflect.jar located on maven central at https://search.maven.org/search?q=a:kotlin-reflect.

Additionally, the code snippets used in this book can be found on GitHub at the following repository https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Programming-Kotlin.
