Yes, but once you start using things like garbage collectors, you start to lose much of the supposed efficiency advantages of going with C++ over Java. Basically, you would be migrating from Java, to C++ dressed up to act as if it were Java. > Rapid development?

Again, Java is not that much different to C++, provided that C++ is dressed up to act like Java. People have bickered for months over the merits of various different languages, and most people have their pet language based on largely subjective factors, but there is no concrete objective reason to go with any language other than Java, and certainly nothing that would justify such a massive rewrite.
