How to make Visual Studio 2005 J# work with JDK 6?

[raven]

Does anybody know if it is possible to make JDK 6 work with VS 2005?
I recall something was possible with VS 6. At least you could compile.

I doubt it, since J# isn't Java in any way except for its syntax and
using a very old version of the java.* hierarchy (e.g. it doesn't
produce Java bytecode.)

You might have better luck with an old J++ version; at least that
compiled to Java bytecode. J# has Java syntax but compiles to .NET IL
rather than Java bytecode. J# was intended for migration from
Java/J++ to C# and .NET and IIRC is now obsolescent and no longer
being maintained.

I hadn't realized that J# was gone, but that seems correct. The .NET 3.0
Class Library has J# examples, and the 3.5 does not.
