I know how to create small desktop applications in Java. I want to know, can I make Windows Metro style apps in Java? Because on the web only C++/C/C#/JavaScript etc. are mentioned. If yes can you please give me some reference for a quick start. If not which one will be easiest language to start?

You can only create metro style apps with C#, VB, JavaScript and C++. There is currently no support for authoring metro style applications with Java.
