vis studio.NET and Java, possible?

[xWeston]

Is it possible to write java programs using microsoft visual studio .net? I have the java sdk, and i use netbeans for my IDE now but it is so slow (due to java's nature!). Is it possible to write/compile java programs using .NET? I thought it was but i cant seem to figure it out.


Also, are the .sln files made by vs.net able to be opened by vis studio 6? ( i have .net at home and vis studio 6 at school)

TIA

Doesn't VS.NET come with J++?

Doesn't VS.NET come with J++?

The copy I have of VS .NET Enterprise (from MS Open License program at work) does not, it has VB.Net, VC.Net and C#.

And J++ was MS Java, not Sun Java which is part of the reason Sun sued MS.

i think i installed everything and it only has vb, vc++, and c#... no J++ as far as i can see, maybe it is somethng you have to force to install? i thought i did everything

yea i am looking for sun java IDE. Is there anything better than netbeans? the speaker at the .net launch said that "J2EE" was supported in .NET, isnt that the java standard?

Microsoft had released a beta version of J#, which is essentially Java for .NET. I don't know how extensive it is, but I compiled several applications w/o a problem.

Here.

Too bad i cant install that J# beta because i have the full version of .NET

Any good ide's for java stuff? i tried netbeans and forte but they are so slow... also just sorta confusing for easy stuff.

Netbeans and Forte are essentially the same IDE. Forte is based on Netbeans.

For a editor + some IDE features, I use Emacs + JDEE for Java development. Emacs isn't for everyone, but it's extensible so there's little it can't do. If you want a flashy GUI, then it's not for you.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've read a lot of good things about Eclipse from IBM. One comment I recall is that users can't believe it's a Java app, since the GUI performs well.

If you want to do real Java development, J# isn't for you. J# is of most use for J++ customers who want to maintain their codebase.

Well, im going to be taking a java class... maybe i will just do it all by hand and do the compiling in the command line. I just wanted to get started early so i could have it really easy in the class.
I've taken 2 C++ classes and im in data structures now

J# is the Java language, but it doesn't compile to something used with Java runtime. It compiles to use the .Net Common Language Runtime. A J# program is functionally the same as a VB.Net program or a C# program.
