What is PythonBridge? (Jython Scripting Question)

Greetings,

I have some questions regarding the Jython class PythonBridge (org.python.pydev.jython.PythonBridge). I am attempting to use some code from 3Decide.com to automate the creation of models that will be imported into Unity3D. Here is a sample:

Import statement:

import org.python.pydev.jython.PythonBridge

Function:

def getLayerResolution(layerName):

layer = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.scene, ce.isLayer, ce.withName(layerName))[0]

jlayer = PythonBridge.toJava(layer, None)

terrain = jlayer.getFunctionAttribute()

My questions are: Why is it necessary to "bridge" the terrain layer to Java and what happens when the CE layer is "Bridged" to Java. I am particularity interested in the second, since I cannot find the "getFunctionAttribute()" anywhere in the CE documentation or online.

Thanks.
