How can I access enum's "overridden" name() method from kotlin?

AplusKminus :

Take for example the Regions enum from AWS 1.11 java sdk. This class contains a String getName() method. When developing with the AWS SDK in Kotlin, this method is provided as

Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1.name

The IntelliJ auto completion popup even says (from getName()) to let you know that the compiler treats the getter like a property.

The problem becomes apparent when you notice that

new AmazonS3ClientBuilder
    .standard()
    .withRegion(Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1.getName())
    .build()

works in Java, while the equivalent

AmazonS3ClientBuilder
    .standard()
    .withRegion(Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1.name)
    .build()

does not work in Kotlin. Printing the following with Java shows why this is the case:

System.out.println(Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1.getName()); // prints "eu-central-1"
System.out.println(Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1.name()); // prints "EU_CENTRAL_1"

How do I access a .getName() method on a Java enum from Kotlin, as Kotlin prefers the .name() method instead?

AplusKminus :

As suggested from the comments:

// Kotlin
Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1.name

in Kotlin resolves to

// Java
Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1.name()

in Java, while

// Kotlin
Regions.EU_CENTRAL_1.getName()

can be used to access the function getName() of the Regions enumeration.

This in turn leads to the question: What are the specific kotlin compiler java method name to property resolution rules?
