InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft is retiring its Visual J# product and the accompanying Java Language Conversion Assistant, according to a company posting on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site from earlier this year.
The Visual J# language and Java Language Conversion Assistant have been Microsoft's offerings for moving Java code over to the Microsoft .Net platform. But there has been lessening interest in these, according to Microsoft.
"Due to a decline in customer interest, Microsoft made the decision to discontinue investment in developing future versions of Visual J#," a Microsoft representative said in an email on Friday afternoon.
