All,

I notice that java2mat has no documentation, just "Undocumented internal
function".

Using grep, I can't see that it is used anywhere in the core either. 
Should we rename this to "__java2mat__" to indicate that it really is an
internal function?  Eventually we could even deprecate it if no one is
using it, but I would start with renaming it.

Agree to rename this to "__java2mat__".  This function is there since the
integration of the java package to core [1].  I cannot figure out a
meaningful purpose.  It seems to somehow extract an double array to Octave
using the C++ function "box_more", that is not undocumented as well, and
only used from "java2mat".

Okay, I deprecated java2mat and made the C++ function available as __java2mat__.  I put a message in the help text for java2mat to file a bug report if they are using this function and can't find a way to do what they need with other Octave functions.  I doubt anyone is using this, but it is a big world and you never know.
