[forge-dev] Recommended way to retrieve properties from a JavaClass?

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Hey Richard,

Sorry in advance for the short answer.

There is currently no API to ask which methods belong to a property, but I
do see great value in this. It wouldn't be hard to provide. Care to file a
JIRA for it?

Thanks,
Lincoln
