 Java compiler
Post New Topic  Post Reply 
I currently have netbeans, but I use Microsoft visual studio for C++ much more.
Is there a java complier that I can add to Microsoft visual studio? Can you show
me the link? Will I have to reinstall the whole IDE to include the java compiler?

This what you want?
And you wouldn't need to reinstall anything.

I seen that before. But I will definetely need the debug feature, which is not
readily available.

Just to be clear, Visual J# wasn't exactly Java. It was like Java, except it used the .NET runtime. This is not an insignificant difference. In fact, it probably changes at least 40% of your coding. You will not be compiling JAR files, and your files will not be running on the JRE. They will also be tied to Windows, or any other platform using the MONO runtime. However, MONO is not as cross-platform capable as the Java JRE is. Here is the wikipedia page on J# which will hopefully give some more info. J# mostly existed as a migration path from old Visual J++ and Java so developers could become more comfortable with .NET. However, J# has been discontinued, and was not included in Visual Studio 2008 nor 2010.

Get eclipse :). Or if you'd prefer to stick with visual studio and .net, I suggest learning C#.

Thanks , I guess I'll stick with netbeans. I just don't like their debugging feature. And as for changing to C#, I can't, its for a class in school.

It be kind of nice if classes/instructors would let you choose a language, so long as it's in a similar scope. If it works, the code is well structured, commented, that's all that matters really. Marking similar Java programs would be easier though than Java, C#, Python, etc. One of my teachers back in the summer said I could write the code for a Client in Ruby if I wanted to. Just to comment it well enough so he could see what's going on. I stuck with Java though, as I knew we were doing a GUI version later, and I'm fairly comfortable with swing.
