I have already instaleed Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 for Visual Basics programming, but now I'm learning Java, and I want to use VS 2008 to program Java.
I cant find the J# addon in my CD, (Only VB and C/C++)
so my question, can I download something from the internet so I can be able to program in java using Visual Studio 2008, remember that VS is already installed, I just want to add J# to it.
J# is NOT java. it's J#, Microsoft .Net language and it has nothing to do with Java. if you want to work with Java then you can't use Visual Studio. As for J# I don't know if Microsoft decided to drop it since VS 2008, But I know there is no VS Express for J#
so i cant program with J# unless I use Visual Studio 2005?
there is no add-on to VS 2008 ?
No, there is not. You have to find the newest version of JDK with a IDE.
do u recommend i use eclipse or BlueJ?
as for J#.... it's dead... that's why it isn't in VS2008....
as for a JDK.... never heard of BlueJ, so I'd say Eclipse. But that maybe biased.

BlueJ is only good for educational purposes. If you want to develop some serious java applications I'd go with Eclipse or Netbeans.
And I still can't figure out if you want to use Java or J#, they are 2 different things
Yes, seems he still confusing with Java and J#.
And read more about Netbeans. I really like that.
Im still learning the basics of java.
Whats the difference in coding between J# and Java? I know J# uses .Net and Java JVM but do they have similar syntax?
and for Netbeans, if I want to code in java should I download Java EE or Java SE? (whats java EE and java SE?)
thanks alot for your help
Seriously... forget J#.... it is NOT Java.... it was meant to be MS's idea of a Java competitor that never really took off... They don't even support it any more... concentrate on Java... forget you ever heard of J#.

If you aren't going to use J#, what difference does it make? The differences between J# and Java are probably about the same as the differences between C/C++ and C# .... similar, but still not the same.Quote:

As for the differences between SE and EE..... they have some different core capabilities.... I'm not sure what they are off the top of my head, but I suspect that EE is what you are going to want.

SE = Standard Edition.
EE = Enterprise Edition.
and you should have one of them. The SE is what you need for a common Java application/applet.
EE is used for JSP applications, Servlets, Struts, JSF, EJB... etc.
If you are a Java noob the SE is what you need. You can get a Netbeans edition with Java SE setup embedded. They used to do that with Netbeans 5.5, I'm not sure if they still do that with Netbeans 6.1
