This just bit me again.  This code, which worked in PyLucene-gcj, throws an
exception in lucene-jcc:

DateTools.timeToString(int(value.strftime('%s')),
                                      DateTools.Resolution.SECOND)

timeToString is expecting a long (kindly ignore the off by 1000x bug).

This at least needs to be in the README.

Agreed. If you send me a patch to the README, I'll apply it.

   - it makes it ambiguous: if there were two java methods called
     longToString(), one taking a long and one taking an int, making the
long one accept int would cause the wrong method to be called if long is
checked before int.

What about when there's no such overloading? ie, when there's a single method
taking a long, can JCC cast the ints to longs in that case?

Yes, that's part of the complications. parseArgs() would have to be told about the existence of overloads, some of which could be inherited, of course...

Again, I'll deal if necessary, but I suspect this going to bite others as
well.  Debugging would be easier if lucene.InvalidArgsError contained more
info about which arg was invalid...

Good point, some of that information is readily available. I should forward it to the error.
