[edit] accuracty of diagram

i was under the impression that J# in many cases just mapped java classes to the corresponding .net ones and didn't bother with seperate ones. Plugwash 01:09, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] J box

What does the box I keep seeing after the letter J mean?? Please fix it. Georgia guy 01:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Someones put the proper sharp sign in the title and body text despite the fact that even MS never uses that sign for j#. However this does get arround the problem that # can't be used in article titles ;) If you can't see it then it either means you don't have a sutiable font or are using a browser that sucks at selecting suitable fonts. I cba to undo it but would have no objection to you doing so if you wish. Plugwash 02:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect statement in article

The article states:

"Instead of receiving a File object as a parameter in the Java API, Microsoft's .NET implementation receives a String object containing the file path."

This is simply wrong. Anyone can browse to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.html and see that the Java API includes the ability to pass a String argument to the FileOutputStream constructor. This has been true since at least Java 1.1.4 (circa 1997), which is as far back as I have ready references available (The Java Class Libraries, Second Edition, Volume 1 by Chan, Lee, and Kramer; Addison-Wesley).

[edit] Subject to personal opinion?

"J# is generally considered to be a proof of concept of .Net language interoperability, and as a marketing tool to lure Java developers to the .Net platform. It is generally not considered to be a language on par with C# or VB.Net, and does not have the same level of support, samples, or updates as the other languages do. This fact notwithstanding, J# is a usable .Net language and has access to all the CLR features."

This seems too be someones personal opinion rather then the truth.

perhaps we should add citations, but I think this is a remark that was made by several people (see here for exemple) (to be clear, I'm not the one who wrote this paragraph) Hervegirod 11:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
