What is Visual J++ used for.

Just wondering what MS Visual J++ is used for? Where would
someone find some good introductory tutorials on it on the
web?
Thank you,

J++ is Microsoft's Java editor. (Or so I've heard).:)

I've heard that's its a sorta fake Java IDE though, so if you want to write real Java I wouldn't recommend using it.

Here's a question...Most Java IDEs are written in Java, making them ungodly slow. I'm sure J++ would probably be written in C++, are there any other good ones?

JCreator, but the free version doesn't have those little listbox popup things :(

The best IDE I've used so far.

Think VB6 with Java syntax.

Here is what one of the books that comes with VB6 Pro says about Visual J++. (I'm assuming that plain J++ is similar.)

"Visual J++ is the tool that offers a high-productivity visual environment and integrated high-performance components to create, test, tune, and deploy Java code. Visual J++ is an integrated Windows-hosted development tool for Java programming. With Visual J++, you can create, compile, modify, run, and debug Java programs within a single environment. You can also package you Java applications and applets for easy distribution to the Web." (Visual Studio Developing for Windows and the Web, page 6)

Sounds like JPad with a few extras.:D

VJ++ is dead, dropped by Micro$oft, not officially but rather permanently w/ the introduction of C#. It coped Java but made a few changes so that the language was not portable, and it wasn't freeware.

JCreator is pretty good, it integrates the API really nicely into the IDE. There is also JBuilder but it sucks vicious ass.

It's been reborn as J#... :(
