Bewdy.  Thanks for all your responses.  Dunno how i missed that one.

One more question: I notice in the examples that the field is defined in
the C++ source instead of the Java source.  Is this the recommended best
practice, or is it simply up to personal preference?  My natural
inclination is to put as much as possible in the Java source and write
only the parts actually required in C++.

BTW, thanks to all the developers who've contributed to such a simple,
easy-to-work-with compiler environment.  Coding with GCJ is almost too
easy - the code virtually writes itself, and some of my modules even
compile & run correctly first time!  Scary.  ;-)

Thanks again,
Paul
