in file scripts/general/fieldnames.m
I removed a superfluous branch.

not only fieldnames but also methods has the same problem:
error: [java] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: eu.simuline.octave.OctaveInterfaceTester

with my class eu.simuline.octave.OctaveInterfaceTester
on the dynamic classpath.

Reopening the bug, as the bug is still present.

This bug only affects classes on the java dynamic classpath.

Not sure when but this seems to already been fixed. Removed the FIXME comment http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/68aec55f5eb6 and closing the bug report

I pushed this http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b2c4f869ff7c

which will fix the original bug. While fixing this, I noticed that it will still fails if a classname from the dynamic classpath is used (I think this is an Octave only feature, Matlab seems to not accept strings as input for fieldnames).

So:


$ wget http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.0.2/artifacts/loci_tools.jar
[...]
$ octave
octave-gui:1> javaaddpath ("./loci_tools.jar" );
octave-gui:2> r = javaObject ("loci.formats.in.ZipReader");
octave-gui:3> fieldnames (r) # this now works
ans =
{
  [1,1] = MUST_GROUP
  [1,2] = CAN_GROUP
  [1,3] = CANNOT_GROUP
  [1,4] = COMPRESSION_SUFFIXES
}
octave-gui:4> class (r)
ans = loci.formats.in.ZipReader
octave-gui:5> fieldnames (class (r)) # this continues to fail
error: [java] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: loci.formats.in.ZipReader
error: called from
    fieldnames at line 57 column 15

The function javafields() is currently deprecated and fieldnames() is recommended instead. However, fieldnames() fails for classes that are on the dynamic classpath instead of static path, while javafields() is working fine for both cases.

The following is using loci_tools.jar which can be downloaded from http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.0.2/artifacts/loci_tools.jar just for the sake of an example:


$ wget http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.0.2/artifacts/loci_tools.jar
[...]
$ octave
octave-cli-3.8.1> javaaddpath ("./loci_tools.jar" );
octave-cli-3.8.1> r = javaObject ('loci.formats.in.ZipReader');
octave-cli-3.8.1> javafields (r)
warning: javafields is obsolete and will be removed from a future version of Octave, please use fieldnames instead

{
  [1,1] = public static final int loci.formats.IFormatReader.MUST_GROUP
  [1,2] = public static final int loci.formats.IFormatReader.CAN_GROUP
  [1,3] = public static final int loci.formats.IFormatReader.CANNOT_GROUP
  [1,4] = public static final java.lang.String[] loci.formats.FormatHandler.COMPRESSION_SUFFIXES
}
octave-cli-3.8.1> fieldnames (r)
error: [java] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: loci.formats.in.ZipReader
error: called from:
error:   /usr/local/share/octave/3.8.1/m/general/fieldnames.m at line 54, column 15
octave-cli-3.8.1> exit

$ echo './loci_tools.jar' > javaclasspath.txt
$ octave
octave-cli-3.8.1> r = javaObject ('loci.formats.in.ZipReader');
octave-cli-3.8.1> fieldnames (r)
ans =
{
  [1,1] = public static final int loci.formats.IFormatReader.MUST_GROUP
  [1,2] = public static final int loci.formats.IFormatReader.CAN_GROUP
  [1,3] = public static final int loci.formats.IFormatReader.CANNOT_GROUP
  [1,4] = public static final java.lang.String[] loci.formats.FormatHandler.COMPRESSION_SUFFIXES
}
