I thought one of the main issues was that there was only one natural implementation of many API functions. Like when you assign students a coding question, you will see many answers come back identical even though no one cheated.

Even then, there were only a couple trivial places that saw literal copying. The code that checks for array out of bounds was the main one.

They mostly used Apache Harmony's implementations.
