You can look for Pizza! Pizza is an extension to the Java language developed
by an australian university (whose name I can't remember). By this I mean
that every Java program is a Pizza program.
Pizza provides some very powerfull extension and is monitorized buy Sun for
future evolution of java itself.
One of the most important extensions are templates and pattern recognition.
And templates are better than c++ as you can restrict the generic datatype
to belong obey to some interface or other.
The Pizza compiler produces .class files that you can run on every 1.1.x or
2.x jvm. The compiler itself is written in Pizza and runs on the JVM.
Unfortunately I can't remember the URL but I think that a query like
java + pizza + compiler
on altavista will give you some good reference.
