If you can do it with C++ why not doing it in Java?

Question

C++ is a great language but I dream of doing flex development
with java instead of actionScript simply because it is a superior
language (than actionScript). The bad side would be that it would
kill the JavaFX project.
I feel actionScript is oriented toward graphists and animator
and miss some business/serious features like generics, abstraction,
comprehensive collection library and thread synchronization.
C++ does have all of these. I don't what to enter a C++
versus Java flame war but I just would like to point out that there
is a need for a Flash VM that runs Java classes.

As of 5 minutes ago, Java is not yet building from the LLVM
trunk + gcc-4.2 trunk. That would be a neat trick indeed w.r.t
Alchemy.

Hi Marcus,
I am also getting the same error while trying to build LLVM
frontend.
I will be very thankful if you could please tell me how you
solve this error.
Thanks
