try to replace 'Application' by '_Application':

 public _Application getApplication() throws COMException
    {
       _Application res = new _Application();
          DispatchPtr dispPtr = (DispatchPtr)get("Application");
          res.stealUnknown(dispPtr);
          return res;
    }

Of course the JaWin Stub _Application has to be available.

The same problem occurs in other typebrowser-created classes who try to
reference e.g. Document instead of _Document and so on. Usually there exists
 a Stub class that implements DispatchPtr and this way inherits stealUnknown().
