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.

>> javaMethod ("floatToIntBits", x)
error: [java] java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: floatToIntBits

## ???? This doesn't look right either, because:

>> methods (x)
Methods for class java.lang.Float:
boolean equals(java.lang.Object)
java.lang.String toString()
java.lang.String toString(float)
int hashCode()
int floatToRawIntBits(float)
int floatToIntBits(float)
:
:

...so it should just work. After all, 

x.toString 

just works fine.

Perhaps file a bug report? What do you think, Michael?
