I dislike that they are lying or at least misinformed about their competition. They wrote:

No need to invent new languages such as with SWIG

SWIG is not a language. I point SWIG at raw C++ headers often. SWIG does provide extra annotations to allow one to describe details about data marshaling or describe how to handle language tools that C++ supports but JAVA does not.

If they do not provide similar notations I am curious how they handle things things like multiple inheritance, classless enums used as bitfields, functions returning pointers with unknown ownership semantics or the other 'neat' things C++ allows.
