The Java wrappers javaClass metaclass pattern should match that of Smalltalk.
We should ensure the following:

stringInstance := Java for: 'java.lang.String'.
stringClass := stringInstance javaClass.        "=> JavaClass for: 'java.lang.String' "
stringMetaClass := stringClass javaClass.     "=> Java for: 'java.lang.Class<java.lang.String>' "
metaMetaClass := stringMetaClass javaClass.    "=> JavaClass for: 'java.lang.Class<java.lang.Class>' "
metaMetaMetaClass := metaMetaClass javaClass. "=> Java for: 'java.lang.Class<java.lang.Class>' " 
"further calls to javaClass just keep providing the same"

This is analogous to:

'string instance' -> String class -> String metaclass -> Metaclass class -> Metaclass metaclass -> Metaclass class
