That's because things under org.freedesktop.DBus are supplied with the
Java bindings, however CreateInterface can't know what already exists,
so creates them. The problem with this is that org.freedesktop.DBus is
both an interface, and has a tree underneath it, so everything has to be
done with inner classes, not with packages. Again, CreateInterface can't
know this in the general case. I might special case
org.freedesktop.DBus.

Hmm, that really shouldn't happen. Can you either send me the output
with DBUS_JAVA_DEBUG=1 or the full source you are trying (or both) so I
can try and debug this? My test suite runs fine.

Thanks
