Visual Studio Integration

Is Visual Studio integration possible? Or do we have to use some Java IDE like eclipse?

Re: Visual Studio Integration

Hi,

I use visual studio for debugging. The output from the Ja.NET SE compiler will produce .PDB files for symbols, so you can use the MS debuggers to debug/step thru your code. VS 2008 no longer includes an editor for Java source, so I do not find it not that useful for editing. I use eclipse at this point for that.

Re: Visual Studio Integration

I was able to provide syntax highlighting for java trivially by extending the NShader project. I may be able to use the java compiler in Ja.NET to "scan" the java for tokens however when i tried this i got an exception so I just used lex.

I would also be very interested in helping with Visual studio integration. We may be able to provide something similar to the IronPython integration project (See visual studio sdk). This would be a pretty impressive package to start pushing.
