Yes, but that wouldn't be any good if the programming language keeps on changing...

I not visiting this forum on a regular base so my answer may be too late for you but.
There is a wrapper for java if you want to do vst.
http://jvstwrapper.sourceforge.net/
You might also want to check out www.kvraudio.com for any help you need about programming VSTs (They're helping me right now)
btw: Anyone knows what happened with breakz.be or is it just me?

read this thread kinda late but i programmed a little vst plugin last year using the vst sdk, it's pretty straightforward: i took one of the samples and in no time i had a vst plugin with two sliders, one for the volume and one for distortion amount; the sound was way too empty and hollow though. It was on my previous hd but i'll try to reconstruct it!
if you need some help with that reece machine thing drop me a note, it sounds cool to make

You can find a lot of information on programming audio plugins in specialized magazines such as the AES Journal (members only - unfortunately I'm not a member anymore...)
I think if you start doing some specific google searches you can come up with a lot of interesting stuff. How to do basic things like FFT filtering etc are well documented and a good starting point before you delve deeply in the world of audio programming. I suppose you can even find source code / algorithms / theory on advanced topics like tube saturation, instrument modelling etc.
It would be great to have an article on this. If you happen to find some interesting links, post them here!

like i said Tobybear has open source for thoes types of program,s great examples . there fft filter is amazing lagging my computer when i sue it so i figure most of there codes are great quality. which they seem to be, just ther esimple programs that do one task, making them great examples.
they also deal with interaction with the host machine, like midi notes velocity, system runnings, everything, all great examples for most everything you'd need.
i have never touched it. but sitll, it might help you.

Cheers for the Java VST wrapper, that looks pretty sweet. maybe the reece machine can continue.

If you're going to built a vsti be sure to know about MIDI.
(If you know about note on, note off and all notes off that should be enough). I always use these tables as a reference
http://www.harmony-central.com/MIDI/Doc/doc.html
Also learn the difference between process and processreplacing (If you're only doing vstI you can write
void YouSynth::process (float **inputs, float **outputs, long sampleFrames)
{
processReplacing (inputs, outputs, sampleFrames);
}
but i don't know how to do this in Java)
also learn about deltaframes and events.
The rest should be quite obvious.
