Details:

In class org.octave.ClassHelper.java 
which is vital for java integration into octave, 
methods castArgument has a superfluous argument: 
class of object. 
This is shown in the new documentation. 

For fixing this, I provide this patch which adds docs 
and makes the problem more visible. 
As a next step I would like to upgrade from java 1.3 to 1.4 
which allows assertions. 
That way, we can better test. 

Then I would like to simplify and clarify the implementation.
