I was thinking that an automatic downcast could be added to the
--sequence argument to jcc, something like

  --sequence org.apache.lucene.search.Hits 'length:()I' 'doc:(I)Lorg/apache/lucene/document/Document;' org.apache.lucene.search.Hit

The type of the elements of the iteration would be cast to it.
