Note

Here are some key points about Visual J++ 1.0: Integrated Development Environment (IDE): It included an IDE that was part of the Microsoft Visual Studio product lineup2. Language Extensions: Visual J++ featured several language extensions that allowed developers to make efficient use of the Win32 APIs2. Windows Foundation Classes (WFC): It encapsulated the Microsoft Win32 platform API and DHTML object models into a unified class library, primarily for creating graphical user interfaces for Java applications on Windows1. Controversy: Visual J++ did not fully conform to Sun Microsystems’ Java implementation, leading to a lawsuit from Sun1.
