JavaMethod, which is used by the Java bridge to represent a method of a Java class, uses JavaString for the return value of its name() method. JavaString is a utility class intended to convert from the JNI string type jstring to WTF::String and char*. There's no need for JavaMethod to expose this utility type in its API. Instead it should just expose WTF::String, using JavaString internally where appropriate.

JavaString exposes JNI types in its API and JavaInstance exposes JavaMethod in its API, so removing JavaString from JavaMethod's API will allow us to remove the dependency of JavaInstance on JNI types. See Bug 55383.
