 <p>
 This example illustrates how to use directors to implement C++ callbacks in Java.
 </p>
-<p>
-Please note that unlike Python, Java does not have an equivalent concept of
-weak references, so the program has to manually clean up after objects. The
-implication of this is that the <code>Caller</code> class cannot claim
-ownership of the <code>Callback</code> object in <code>Caller.setCallback()</code>
-and delete it.
