+    following new functions are available for interacting with Java
+    directly from Octave:
+
+      java                  java_invoke
+      java2mat              java_new
+      javaArray             java_set
+      javaMethod            java_unsigned_conversion

+      java_get              javamethods
+      java_init             javarmpath
+
