Starting off with the basics:

(Octave-3.7.7+ on MinGW)

>> x = javaObject ("java.lang.Float", 10.07)
x =

<Java object: java.lang.Float>

>> x.floatToIntBits
error: [java] java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: floatToIntBits

## Field? This doesn't look right.

The current code only looks for method when you use a combination of . and (. That is something like:

x.floatToIntBits()

That is probably another compatibility problem.

Actually, because it's a static method, it should be something like:

x.floatToIntBits(x)

and that leads to the original java.lang.IllegalArgumentException as reported initially.
