Java VST development?

[amiga909]

hi
what do experts think of java vst plugins? (compared to c++)
Java benefits:
- better to maintain, extend (well...generally)
- portability

Java drawbacks:
- garbage collector overhead
- JVM needs to be installed correctly


do you think its reasonable to develop vst's in java at this time?

tkx for comments

jMusic and jVstWrapper:
this 2 pieces of software should make it possible to make decent vst's. i wonder if i should invest time and explore it?

Do a native compile with gjc or jni, no JVM problems then.
