vj#: Hi all,

Visual J# 2005 Express Edition Beta is available for download from MSDN
here:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vjsharp/

Visual J# 2005 Express is a lightweight, easy to use tool for developing
applications with J# and Microsoft .NET Framework. If you are exploring J#,
or thinking about it in the Visual Studio 2005 timeframe, this is a good
time to download J# Express and give it a spin!

There is a programming contest this summer for applications created using
the Express products - yes, that's right, you could win an XBox by creating
an application using J# Express!
Check out the details here: http://channel9.msdn.com/express/

Note that J# Express does not support Web application or Web services
development. If you want to do this, you can download Visual Web Developer
2005 Express Edition Beta (http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vwd/ )

A blog to discuss topics around the Express editions is here:

If you had trouble downloading the Express products earlier using the
installer, steps for manual download and install are now available.

To provide feedback on J# Express, please use this newsgroup - or you can

thanks

1. The "Ctrl + Tab" is very bad.

2. If I have this line:
"Dialog f = new Dialog();"
And want to have "java.awt.Dialog", when I start typing in front of Dialog:
"java.|Dialog f = new Dialog();"
When I push [tab] on "awt" after the ".", the "Dialog" disappears:
"java.awt| = new Dialog();"
