Using J# as a way to learn Java?
|
|
|
| Have been using Visual Studio for quite some time. I like the MS VS
IDE setup, especially auto-complete, dropdown menus, context sensitive
help, etc.
Is there a GOOD Java IDE comparable to VS features? Borland, Sun, IBM,
other?
Can I use Visual Studio's J# IDE as a way to learn Java?
Thanks, Bill

Eclipse is what you're looking for.

Use Microsoft products at your own risk.

Yes.

Can you use a typewriter to learn how to fly?

Well if you really like VS then all I can say is that almost *any* Java IDE
will suit your needs ;-)
Sorry .... I have just had to use VS for a w and still getting over it.
Why would that be?
Try the most intelligent Java IDE around -- http://www.intellij.com/idea/
and see what I mean.

I don't know about java but at least using visual C++ to learn C++ ends
up being somewhat disastrous.
Take care

That is a bit like saying can I learn French to help me learn English.
Yes, every new language you learn will give you more skill at learning
languages, but if you want to learn English, study English.

| I have been using JBuilder X from Borland and I really like it so far. The
IDE has several of the features you mentioned.
