This isn't a JVM languages thing, is it? Ask on the Scala-User mailing 
list / Google Group.

Anyway...

If the names are not the same, you're going to have to write code that 
captures the correspondence, and thus you have no real need for 
reflection.

Why does the Scala side need to see different names for the Java 
members? Why do you want to transform the Java instances into disparate 
Scala counterparts? Why not let the Scala code use and act directly 
upon the Java instances? It's quite good at that.
