Follow-up Comment #1:

Hmm, this seems to directly contradict Matlab's own documentation. At
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/handling-data-returned-from-a-java-method.html#f61197
they explicitly say

> When a method call returns data of type java.lang.Object,
> MATLAB converts its value, depending on its actual type,
> according to the following table.

and says that a Java return value of java.lang.String should be auto-converted
into a Matlab type char value. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding that
page. What version of Matlab did you observe this in? Any different result
with


x = javaObject('java.lang.Double', 10);
y = x.toString();
class(y)
