[edit] compatibility

I just removed the following from the article as its unclear.

The one major difference was that Visual J++ applications could only run on Microsoft's Virtual Machine.

does this mean that they actually changed the classfile format or (as i suspect) does it just reffer to the fact ms added a new load of libraries? Plugwash 18:28, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't think that statement is even true. The open-source Kaffe VM implemented Microsoft's extensions. See [1]. PuerExMachina 17:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I just modified a bit the text to clarify: Visual J++ was still necessary for the compilation (even with Kaffe), and the development was funded by Microsoft. Hervegirod 18:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] flop

May J++ be considered a flop for Microsoft? I don't know any applications running on J++. --Abdull 11:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

J++ was killed by lawsuit it didn't ever get the chance to flop naturally. Plugwash 15:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistency

The article initially states that Visual J++ was an implementation of Java. It implies in a subsection that it was just an IDE (which is what I thought). Both of these cannot be correct. Probably needs cleanup/merge from someone who knows for sure. Andrewferrier 17:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date?

I accessed this article to find out when VJ++ was originally released but I still don't know. Djcowbell (talk) 01:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)djcowbell
