You should be able to just set a Tcl global variable with a wrapped Java object
and then use it in your code from that point on. If you are doing this from
Tcl code just use java::new or java::call. If you want to do it from Java
code you will want to make use of the RefletObject.newInstance() method
and the Interp.setVar() method.
