hi vampire,

Just because you're not allowed to overload on return type doesn't
mean that the javac compiler doesn't encode the return type in the
compiled function's signature. you can tell from looking at the
exception thrown by gruntspud that the JRE is specifically "looking"
for a void function, and not finding it. And then you can check the
source to verify that there is indeed a setShell() method which does
accept the correct arguments but doesn't return void.
