UPDATE - June 16, 2011 - I could not escape Flash. I'm finding that I actually need to resurrect and use the j2swf and (maybe j2avm) tools for a commercial project. I don't want to continue writing Java, so I might start adding new code in Clojure, or lift the whole thing up into a model and use code-generation. I'll write a new post when things are figured out.
-----
It's time to make it official - I no longer believe that I will ever resume work on my Flash-related projects (JavaSWF and its successors j2avm and j2swf).
[redacted]
These days there are many, many open-source SWF libraries, so I do not feel that letting JavaSWF die is a loss.
I have made many friends as a result of my Flash projects, and I would like to thank everyone who encouraged me, gave me gigs, and heckled from the sidelines.

Aw. Would be nice to use something other than haXe. I was recently thinking about this as Flash still seems to be kicking.
@fixplz it's also a statement about Java. Even if Flash does have a future, I no longer want to be programming in Java more than necessary.
Anyway - Haxe seems like a better option all round, with its JS and C++ backends.
