I want to access a static JavaFX class member from Java using the Javafx reflection API.

E.g. JavaFX code:

var thing;

class MyJavaFXClass {
}

Java code:

private Object getThing() {
  FXClassType classType = FXContext.getInstance().findClass("mypackage.MyJavaFXClass");

  // Get static member 'thing' from 'MyJavaFXClass'
  // <Insert Code Here>

  return thing;
}

What Java code do I need to access 'MyJavaFXClass.thing'?

Note: I am using JavaFX 1.3 - I'm not sure if the reflection API is different here to earlier JavaFX versions.
