There are many dynamic languages that target Sun's JVM (Groovy, Scala, Jython, Jruby etc) and I was sure there are many that target Adobe's AVM as well. But I was surprised to find only Haxe do something similiar. related question on this site
I think the eclipse e4 SWT project doesn't compile to ABC (ActionScript Byte Code) directly, but first converts Java to AS3 and then the Flex compilter does the rest.
Could it be that no one yet wrote a simple Java / Python / Scala AVM2 compiler that can be used as an alternative to the proprietary Adobe Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder)?
I don't mind paying Adobe for a fine producy, but writing Java in Eclipse is so much faster and convinent than the half baked Adobe plugin suite. are there really no efforts other than Haxe?
Here you go: Compiling Java and C# to SWF
