because that's not how Kotlin interop works

try `JvmTarget.Companion.fromTarget("11")`

&gt; No signature of method: static org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.JvmTarget$Companion.fromTarget() is applicable for argument types: (String) values: [11]
&gt;   Possible solutions: fromTarget(java.lang.String)

ah, that's a Groovy thing. it's treating `JvmTarget.Companion` as `JvmTarget$Companion.class`, but you need to access the static field of `JvmTarget` named `Companion`

should work if you use `JvmTarget.@Companion.fromTarget("11")`

but it would be easier if you just didn't use the Groovy DSL :)

Then the question would also be in the right channel. As long as you use Groovy DSL, the Kotlin DSL channel is wrong.

Oh, wow. Thank you - yes, with that `@` it works. Sorry for picking the wrong channel.

Should be improved in Kotlin 2.0.0 release: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-63601/Fetching-Gradle-compiler-DSL-objects-using-raw-strings-is-inconvenient-in-the-Groovy-DSL> :sweat_smile:
