What research, out of interest? I find it very difficult to see what advantage you might get from combining C++ and Java. I could understand it if you wanted a C++ server and a Java client, and I can see the advantages of embedding a language like Python or Perl into a hardcoded engine. But unless you've already got large amounts of both C++ and Java code that you want to avoid rewriting, or are creating the mud as a learning experience (eg to practice your COM skills) I can't see any reason why you'd want to build a codebase using both languages...
I'm not 'preaching', I'm just honestly curious. It seems like a thoroughly bizarre design decision, and I'd be really interested to see what sort of research inspired it.
