Public Java property is shown as val

[atyrin]

For public properties without getter or setter Dokka shows keyword val instead of var

public class JavaClass {
    public int publicProperty;
}

Installation

Yeah, turns out it's not as easy to fix :(

Adding this will solve it for java classes

private fun DProperty.isMutable(sourceSet: DokkaSourceSet): Boolean {
    return when(this.documentableLanguage(sourceSet)) {
        DocumentableLanguage.KOTLIN -> this.setter != null
        DocumentableLanguage.JAVA -> {
            // java properties without getters and setters should be `var`
            if (this.getter == null && this.setter == null) true else this.setter != null
        }
    }
}


if (p.isMutable(sourceSet)) keyword("var ") else keyword("val ")

But Kotlin inheriting Java will result in sourceLanguage == Kotlin, and it will be val.

We would need a way to see from which language this property came from, and if it came from Java - apply this special rule

This information is available in descriptors, so we'd have to pass it somehow, so not as difficult
