Ok, my Google skills are twarted here and I cant find the information I was looking for... too many VB/C# vs Java hits comming up.

Ive heard that using J#, you can create apps in Java (2 or 1 Im not sure) as well.

Is it that you can write your code as Java or J# and it still gives you a .net executable, or can you click a setting and give a java executable?

Sorry, this whole J#/Java thing is alien to me.
 
J# is linked to the framework. You still need to have the framework to run the .exe.

It uses ressources from the framework (References) so its still needed.

However... you can take your code and maybe translate it to build a non-.NET executable in JBuilder (just an eg.) but youll still have to do some big work to make the change.

There is some free Java builder floating around on the web ?
 
I remember hearing talk you could write your code in Java (rather than .net J#) in J#. I guess that would still have an output of the .Net executable.

But like you seem to be saying, if you can write your code in 100% Java (or damn close to it), you could copy and paste the code (in theory) into a java compiler and have it in java as well.
 
Thats EXACTLY what I were saying ;)
Whats funny in that... its that JAVA isnt a property of Microsoft... so its still scalable to other plateform or other IDE (with some little work ;) )

But I would rather recommend JBuilder or something like this (unless you work alot with .NET). The scalability is more higher and like PlausiblyDamp said here:
the more platforms I can run my software on = more potential customers = more potential money = good thing
But theres one thing I dont know... how fare putting your code to JBuilder will make your job harder. I dont know Java and I never touched it because every Java application that I saw was taking a decade to launch... and I dont want my customer to wait till the last judgement to make their app run.

Is it different in .NET ? More detail will make me happy as a rabbit in a vegetable store! :p
