It sounds to me like the first property, with a key "bugs" is an array, 
probably of HashMap (or possibly just Map), which contains a the actual 
bug information.

The chance that I'm going to mess something up here is increasing 
because I'm not compiling this, but try this.

// create bug
    Object createResult = rpcClient.execute("Bug.search", new 
Object[]{bugMap});
       //createResult.toString();

   HashMap bugs = (HashMap)createResult;
   for( Object key : bugs.keySet() ) {
     System.out.println( "Key "+key.getClass().getName()
                       + "= "+key
                       + ", value "+ bugs.get( key ).getClass().getName()
                       + "= "+ bugs.get( key )
                 );
     Object value = bugs.get( key );
     if( value instanceof Object[] ) {
       Object[] valueArray = (Object[])value;
       for( Object v : valueArray ) {
          System.out.println( "-- "+v.getClass().getName() );
       }
     } else System.out.println( "not an array!" );
   }


You should be able to run this and determine what to replace the 
v.getClass().getName() part with;  probably a cast to a Map.  I don't 
recall if collections normally override their to string -- they might, 
though the result normally isn't very pretty.
