Visual Studio for Java?

Anyone have an idea to create a Visual Studio extension for Java? Someone wrote an article here: http://www.improve.dk/blog/2007/09/29/compiling-java-in-visual-studio

But no one seems to have an idea to use the free visual sandboxing studio to create an IDE for Java?

Good question. There are several VS plugins that allow you to create other code, such as SapphireSteel Software Amethyst (allowing you to build Flex with VS), so it's natural to ask if there is a plugin for a language popular like Java.

After searching around the net for a bit (damn NerdSniping: P) I found something very interesting: Grasshopper , MSIL for Java Bytecode which allows you to run VB and C # 3.0 web applications on Java Application Server and also extends VS to work with Java Bytecode (debugging capabilities, Java IntelliSense classes, etc.)



Perhaps someone has experience with this product or can provide additional information about the real capabilities of the cross compiler.

You can also use J # to write Java code in VS. Can't see the real point with the java plugin?

People would probably rather spend their time improving Eclipse or Netbeans.

Microsoft doesn't like Java. Those who do this write the IDE in Java.

Yes, there is a plugin that supports the JAVA language in Visual Studio: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/bc561769-36ff-4a40-9504-e266e8706f93

The answers to the same question are here:

... except that no one can answer because there is no one!

Does anyone understand this is a HUGE business opportunity? Thoough Mainsoft did a great job of recompiling .net for j2ee, they would have done more $$$ by just creating an ideal entirely for java.
