[1.1.0] Jython-2.7-rc3: Subclassing Region: with __init__ the java level constructors not used with super()__init__(), leaving Region "empty" --- workaround

********* workaround

setup a subclass of Region this way:

class MyRegion(Region):
    def __init__(self, x=1, y=1, w=1, h=1):
        self.setRect(x, y, w, h)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Installed nightly sikulixsetup-1.1.0-20150427.231036-54-forsetup, and my old code is breaking when I try to highlight a class that extends Region. The code worked fine with Sikuli from Dec 2014 and recently with sikulixsetup-1.1.0-20150417

Here is the simple code:
# begin code ===============================
import org.sikuli.basics.SikulixForJython
from sikuli import *

def highlight_flash(rejun, cycles=1, lightsec=1, darksec=0.25):
    if rejun != None:
        for i in range(cycles):
            rejun.highlight(lightsec)
            wait(darksec)

class SLRegion(Region):
    def __init__(self, x=1, y=1, w=1, h=1):
        super(SLRegion, self).__init__(x, y, w, h)

rejun = Region(100,100,100,100)
highlight_flash(rejun, 3)

rejun = SLRegion(100,100,100,100)
highlight_flash(rejun, 3)
# ============================================= end.

The first call to highlight_flash(...) works fine - flashes 100x100 box 3 times.
The second call fails with Null Pointer...

and here is what it tells me when I run the same code in Eclipse...
