                                         "public int field;";
                                         "public Test(int n) {";
                                         "field = n;";
                                         "}";
                                         "}";]);
                   t = c.new(128);
                   v = jgetfield(t, "field")

                   // or easier
                   t.field

                   jremove c t v;

    jimport java.util.Date;

    d = Date.new();
    d.minutes, // will call d.getMinutes()
    jgetfield(d, "minutes"), // will also call d.getMinutes()

    jremove Date d;
