Hi,

I came across this talks about deploying .Net apps on Linux.

Use the Visual Studio .NET IDE and Grasshopper to Deploy .NET Apps on Linux!

We all know and love the Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET® IDE, but did you know that you can use it to build server applications that run on Linux®? Discover how, with Visual MainWin® for J2EE™ from Mainsoft, Visual Studio users can run their applications natively on J2EE and Linux environments.

As far as I can tell it's a set of tools to recompile MSIL to Java bytecode, and only for ASP.Net applications.

It isn't so much about Linux as it is Java. As far as I can tell Linux only gets heavy emphasis because of the availability of cheap hosting.

The part I am intrigued by is Starting or converting projects from .NET to J2EE although, I haven't read that part yet so I don't not if it is actually talking about what I think its talking about... that is converting .Net to Java.

No, as far as I can see it does nothing to convert .Net languages to Java. It recompiles .Net MSIL from C#, etc. compiles into Java bytecode to be run under J2EE/Tomcat, from within the VS IDE.

But you never end up with any Java source code.

Ah ok!
