MATLAB syntax for Java inner objects

MATLAB is a Java (and .NET) interpreter, yay!

But calling inner objects can be tricky in MATLAB. Use the `javaMethod` and `javaObject` builtins. All the examples are from org.eclipse.jgit
javamethod
javaobject

Constants

These are the easiest of all. Though not technically an inner anything, a constant could be confusing, but it is called exactly as it would be in Java or MATLAB.

    filesystem = org.eclipse.jgit.util.FS.DETECTED

FS is a the filesystem class in org.eclipse.jgit.util pacakge. Its constant DETECTED can be accessed using regular dot notation.

Enumeration of an inner class

This is where it starts to get tricky. A nested or inner class is created in a separate class file preceded with a dollar sign. MATLAB uses the same notation, but only as a string in the javaMethod command.

    NOTRACK = javaMethod('valueOf', ...
        'org.eclipse.jgit.api.CreateBranchCommand$SetupUpstreamMode', ...
        'NOTRACK')

The `CreateBranchCommand has a nested class called `SetupUpstreamMode`. Access it in MATLAB with a dollar symbol, "$", instead of dot notation, but access it using `javaMethod`. For example it has several enumerations. `NOTRACK` is an enumeration of `SetupUpstreamMode`. Calling the `valueOf()` method of `SetupUpstreamMode` and passing it the string, "NOTRACK" inside the MATLAB builtin `javaMethod` does the trick.

org/eclipse/jgit/api/CreateBranchCommand.SetupUpstreamMode
org/eclipse/jgit/api/CreateBranchCommand.SetupUpstreamMode.html#NOTRACK

Construct an inner class object

This is also easy.

    user = javaObject('org.eclipse.jgit.transport.CredentialItem$Username')

Username is an static nested class of CredentialItem. Access it using the dollar sign instead of dot notation in a call to `javaObject`.
org/eclipse/jgit/transport/CredentialItem.Username

And that's pretty much that. There are some other Java tools, like javaArray, javaMethodEDT & javaObjectEDT. I'll update this more later. Promise.
