Description

The function create-instance-from-jobject creates a CLOS instance based on the jobject jobject.

jobject must be a jobject. Its class name (that is, the result of jobject-class-name) must have been associated with the name of a CLOS subclass of standard-java-object using record-java-class-lisp-symbol (the importing interface, when defining a class, does it automatically).

create-instance-from-jobject uses the record to find the class, and makes the CLOS instance by calling make-instance, passing it jobject.

The result is an instance of the CLOS class, which can be passed to Java interface functions and Java methods.

If create-instance-from-jobject fails to find the CLOS class it signals an error if errorp is non-nil, otherwise it returns nil. The default value of errorp is true.
