Or use the lazy way, avoid the abstract class, and inherit from
GregorianCalendar, i.e.-

>>>from java.util import GregorianCalendar
>>>class myTime(GregorianCalendar):
...	def ms(self):
...		return self.getTimeInMillis()
...
>>>t = test()
>>>t.ms()
978997877490L
>>>

If you still have respectJavaAccessibility = true, you can confirm
protected status with:

>>>g = GregorianCalendar()
>>>g.getTimeInMillis()
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: getTimeInMillis


(I actually sent this earlier, but received an service unavailable error- 
I apologize if I'm repeating myself...again :)
