Also, I'm trying to work around this by using Java reflection, but I can't seem to get the Class instance for org.slf4j.Logger.

{verbatim}

>> wantKlass = javaMethod('forName', 'java.lang.Class', 'org.slf4j.Logger')

error: [java] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.slf4j.Logger
{verbatim}

Is this because Octave is using a special ClassLoader for the classes on the dynamic Java classpath? Is there a way of doing java.lang.Class.forName() for them?

It seems that isa(), when called on a Java object, doesn't properly respect interface inheritance from superclasses.

I have a method written against the org.slf4j.Logger interface. It should accept instances of any class that implements that interface, either directly or through inheritance. In some of my code, my method is receiving org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter objects and storing them in a variable named jLogger. This class is an indirect subclass of org.slf4j.helpers.NamedLoggerBase, which implements org.slf4j.Logger. However, isa(jLogger, 'org.slf4j.Logger') returns false.

{verbatim}
debug> jLogger
jLogger =
<Java object: org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter>

debug> klass = jLogger.getClass;
debug> klass.getName
ans = org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter
debug> superklass1 = klass.getSuperclass;
debug > superklass1.getName
ans = org.slf4j.helpers.MarkerIgnoringBase
debug> superklass2 = superklass1.getSuperclass;
debug> superklass2.getName
ans = org.slf4j.helpers.NamedLoggerBase
debug> ifcs2 = superklass2.getInterfaces;
debug> ifcs2(1).getName
ans = org.slf4j.Logger
debug> isa(jLogger, 'org.slf4j.Logger')
ans = 0
{verbatim}

Affects Octave 4.4.1 and 5.2.0. This is on macOS, but I'd suspect it affects all OSes.
