I'm doing a small J# project (my background is VB and C#), and I'd like to confirm the following:

1. Is it true that you can't code or even access properties? (I know you can call underlying methods get_x and set_x, but I would have guessed that they could be accessed via more modern syntax - i.e., x = "foo" or MessageBox.Show(x))

2. Are there static local variables in J#? The Microsoft language equivalents says they are possible via the 'static' keyword, but I can't get the compiler to accept this. Is the Microsoft documentation just out to lunch here? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tskeywords.asp

3. How can you change the value of a primitive type parameter within a method, such as short, and pass the changed value back? I realize you can use the method return type, but what if you want to change, say 3, primitive type parameters? Is there a clean way to do this in J#?

I appreciate any help on any of these questions.
