Visual J#
Microsoft Visual J# 2005 enables developers to use Java-language syntax to build applications and services on the .NET Framework. Visual J# integrates the Java-language syntax into the Visual Studio® integrated development environment (IDE). Visual J# also supports most of the functionality found in Visual J++ 6.0®, including Microsoft extensions. Visual J# is not a tool for developing applications intended to run on a Java Virtual Machine. Applications and services built with Visual J# will run only on the .NET Framework. Visual J# has been independently developed by Microsoft. It is not endorsed or approved by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Because Visual J# integrates with the Visual Studio IDE, Visual J# programmers can use Visual Studio designers to create XML Web services, Web Forms pages, and Windows Forms applications.
