Hi,
I have a very simple Kotlin program,
import java.util.Collections
fun main(args: Array<String>): Unit {
val l = arrayListOf(1,3,4,2)
javaClass<Collections>().getMethods().forEach { println(it) }
Collections.sort(l)
println(Collections.max(l))
}
And it’s failing at run time in this way,

NoSuchMethodError shouldn't really ever happen for Java SDK API, right? And, you can see that I've printed the methods on Collections, and max shows up. The only difference between the NoSuchMethodError and what I printed is that NoSuchMethod error is complaining about a max method that returns a Comparable, whereas Collections.max returns an Object.
Any thoughts?
