Eliminate use of undocumented SWIG feature

[java] bad code generation for typedef'd enums

Closing in favour of https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/3012

Reproduced with current git master (6eb2560e8d7192a8302e90ca3426df9aceb6d2e2). I noticed that if we ignore the methods we don't want then it works - e.g. add this before the %include "classes.h";: %ignore return_float(float &f); This is at least consistent with how method hiding would work if the %extend method was actually added in C++, consider this: #include <iostream> class C { public: virtual void return_float(float &f) { f = 123; } float return_float() { float f; return_float(f); return f;...

The case where the value is a pointer type raised in the comments above is https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/2938 (and also https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1235/ which I've closed as a duplicate of the ticket in the active bug tracker).

wsfulton: With the change discussed above the template would still be instantiated before being used as a base class - the idea is to allow having the %template EARLIER, in particular before the C++ template definition. This would address the current awkward situation where a %template directive needs to be in the middle of a third-party C++ header which is being wrapped. This means the %template directive would need to be stored and processed later. The exact point to process seems a bit tricky,...

Python, map of pointer

Same problem was reported in the github tracker so closing this as a duplicate: https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/2938
