Overview Microsoft Visual J# .NET is a development tool for Java-language developers who want to build applications and services on the Microsoft .NET Framework. Visual J# .NET joins more than 20 previously announced languages with its ability to target the .NET Framework and first-class XML Web services. Visual J# .NET includes technology that enables customers to migrate Java-language investments to the .NET Framework. Existing applications developed with Visual J++ can be easily modified to execute on the .NET Framework, interoperate with other .NET-connected languages and applications, and incorporate new .NET functionality such as Microsoft ASP.NET, Microsoft ADO.NET, and Microsoft Windows Forms. Further, developers can use Visual J# .NET to create entirely new .NET-connected applications. Microsoft Visual J# .NET is not a tool for developing applications intended to run on a Java virtual machine. Applications and services built with Visual J# .NET will run only in the .NET Framework; they will not run on any Java virtual machine. Visual J# .NET has been independently developed by Microsoft. It is neither endorsed nor approved by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
