Yes, it can be real problem. Probably only Walter can help here :-) I really
don't know what to do to make it work properly.

This one I don't get. For char type you do not have to call template
explicitly. Because of default template parameter of type 'char' you just
call getValue(); and it is implicitly equivalent of getValue!(char)(); 
Please see my example for reference.

When you could change:
JArrayJObject getControls();
into:
JArrayJObject swtGetControls();

there would be no conflict with:
Control[]     getControls();
