Follow-up Comment #7, bug #48820 (project octave):

@Kai, 
seems fine. 
A few comments: Using isjava.. whether a variable *contains*... 
But it is not only applicable to variables 
I would write 

With isjava it is possible to check whether an expression 
results in a java object 
and if so class returns the name of its java class. 

The next example is really great! 


Sentence: But ambiguities may arise... 
is not so good. 
I think, the point is that Double is converted into double 
when used as a parameter. 


Below: 
I would rewrite "method and constructor parameters" 
as "parameters of methods and constructors" 


Well, whether calling static methods and getting static fields 
in a special way is a workaround... hm.. 
I think, it is the way it is done. 
Note that also javaObject 
is a kind of workaround since java.long.Double(3.4) 
does not work (as it does in matlab)... 


I would not write about "empty brackets" 
it is the empty array I think. 

You write "It is not recommended", 
but in fact, the user has no choice. 
One could write: be careful: ... [] has type double whereas null has no type.


I would talk about debug_java right after mentioning exceptions. 

Also I would not write 
"In octave it is possible to provide..." 
but just "Octave provides ..."


I think for methods and fieldnames one should provide links 
als you do for the other functions. 

also I have forgotten to mention, that octave also allows to display
constructors.
