Keep in mind that there are real Java objects behind these variables,
and you can check the Javadoc (and even the source code) of those objects.
Printing $class.class reveals that you're dealing with an object of type
com.xpn.xwiki.api.Class, and checking the API at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/API shows that the
method you're looking for is:
$class.get("name")
And it's a feature of Velocity to automatically try to use a "get"
method when a more specific method is not found, you can even do:
$class.name
Looking at what $class.properties returns, you can see that it's an
array of properties as in Element[], so you can't retrieve properties by
name from there.
