two things I'd like to know about java:

1. When looking at java code, one sees many statements like:
	xclass xobject=new xclass()
isnt this use of the first "xclass" redundant? the new object HAS to
be of the type xclass, so why were the purposes of instantiation &
declaration separated?

2. why cant properties of components be accessed directly eg cant say:
	buttonControl1.Label="some text"
have to say:
	buttonControl1.setLabel("some text")

thanks,
Bryan
