Re: kawa question/java interface

["Robert D. Skeels" <athene@earthlink.net>]

Michele's question is something I struggle with often. I would find it
helpful if there was some brief documentation on how to determine which
Kawa FFI call:

; primitive-constructor class (argtype ...)
; primitive-virtual-method class method rtype (argtype ...)
; primitive-static-method class method rtype (argtype ...)
; primitive-interface-method interface method rtype (argtype ...)

should be used after looking things up in the Java documentation. The Java
API lists calls like:

; java.util.Date -- public String toString()

I'm sure someone familiar with Java would know which Kawa function can
access this, but from the Scheme programmer's side it isn't so apparent.
Even just a few paragraphs explaining how to read the API for the correct
calls would help.
