The correct title of this article is Visual J++. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.

Microsoft Visual J++ is a compiler and an IDE for, a Java-based programming language, formerly incorporated into Microsoft Visual Studio. It has been replaced by Visual J# in newer versions. Visual J++ added delegates to Java.

In 1997, Sun Microsystems filed a lawsuit against Microsoft because of Microsoft's extensions to Java, which are only available through the Visual J++ programming language. After three years, Microsoft finally lost the suit and had to pay Sun $20 million, in addition to stopping use of the Java logo.

The extensions were eventually reused in the Microsoft .NET platform and the C# programming language.
