[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60123] method methods and ismethod silently changed: includes constructors now

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #60123 (project octave):

@Ernst:
You're not quite the only Java user here, we occasionally get bug reports
relating to Java from other users than you and in the io package (that I
maintain) there's a lot of Java based code (TBH, how many people would be
using *that* is beyond me:-) ).

One big difference is is that AFAIK the entire Matlab GUI is based on Java (at
least, it used to be) so Java is a much more natural choice to fall back on
with Matlab.
OTOH in my experience Matlab's dependency on Java can be a PITA as well, as it
heavily relies on its own bundled JRE. E.g., it can be hard to invoke methods
in newer class libs outside Matlab's bundle, or swap/shadow the bundled ones
with other versions with other/more capabilities, as one soon gets drowned in
dependency "hell".
