Sorry, for the long wait, I had to retry some of my earlier tests.

For a reason I could not discover yet, a Scala Macro cannot see
private fields of
a Java Class. Thus the Scala TypeExtraction logic would falsely assume that
a type is a Pojo while it is in reality not. Those cases, the Java Extractor
can handle.

Scala Reflection Type has a method "isJava":
tpe.typeSymbol.asClass.isJava == true
for Java-defined classes

What exactly are you suggesting?
