Visual J++ is an IDE for Windows. Unless you jump through
some hoops, it allows you to write applications that will only run
under a Windozes version of Java.
As far as I recall, Microsoft is under serious pressure
to bring J++ into line with the Sun license agreement. So much so
that Microsoft is now considering abondoning Java altogether for
its own 'technology' called COOL. Not so cool IMHO.
Surf around www.news.com for some general articles about
the whole thing.
