Anyway, here are a few of the reasons that the C++ looks like somebody wanted to write Java:
-Pointers to stuff passed around without specific notes about ownership
-Abstract base classes used like Java's interfaces in places where templates might be more appropirate
-Virtual fuctions overused
-Types that can't be used like normal C++ variables because they don't have copy or assignment operators the rule rather than the exception

What C++isms do you see in the Java version?
Underscores, underscores everywhere.
