Details:

Java objects have a "toString" which returns a java.lang.String object.
However, calling this method via Octave returns an Octave char. Example:


octave-cli-3.8.1> x = javaObject ('java.lang.Double', 10)
x =

<Java object: java.lang.Double>

octave-cli-3.8.1> class (x.toString ())
ans = char


while in Matlab:


>> x = javaObject ('java.lang.Double', 10);
>> class (x.toString ())

ans =

java.lang.String
