Introducing JITB — a Flash Player Built On the JVM

Posted by Soulskill on from the stay-as-long-as-you-like dept.

MBCook writes "Joa Ebert has started working on a new program called JITB. Announced in a talk at FITC San Fran, it's a Flash player written to use the Java JVM to run ActionScript, and in a simple graphics test case (making 1 million calls to flash.geom.Point) was 30x faster than Adobe's Flash player. There is an impressive demo video on YouTube showing the point test."

    It's just another case of existing technologies being re-implemented for Java. Nothing to see here, move along.
