I have a maven project. There are two compilers in it: java and kotlin (kotlin is a language that can generate JVM bytecode). Kotlin starts first and then javac. If I run from command line then everything works perfect. If I use Netbeans "test project" then NetBeans launches Maven to compile and test and everything is fine. However NetBeans won't see java classes produced by Kotlin (in target/classes dir). If I try "test file" or "run file" then Netbeans doesn't run maven compile but compiles the file itself and generates code that throws "Runtime exception: Uncompilable source code". It's ok that NetBeans doesn't support kotlin source files but I believe it should be able to see classes generated by maven.
any change to provide a simple sample project to reproduce? thanks

Once you disable "Compile On Save" feature the exception on run should disappear but Java code is still run even if there are class files in the target directory
oops, typo ... but Java code is still red even if there are class files in the target directory
WAD. Even though it might sound counterintuitive, generaly speaking has the IDEs intern compilation good reasons not to look on the classes in build output and to prefer the sources instead. This, obviouslly and unfortunatelly, doesn't work so well in scenarios like Kotlin. will keep this open as a request for some Kotlin support not sure how the kotlin-maven-plugin works, but a possible workaround could be to pack the kotlin generated classes in a repository artifact and then depending on it ...
seems to work with the kotlin-netbeans plugin closing
