Description

Property access on Java objects doesn't always work.

For example, this works:
a = new javax.swing.JButton( "hello" )
a.text

And this works:
a = new javax.swing.JButton( "hello" )
a.getParent()

But this does not:
a = new javax.swing.JButton( "hello" )
a.parent

In the case above, getParent() returns a java.awt.Container. Perhaps the problem is with non-basic return types?
