Mainsoft unites .Net and Java programming
Just when it looked like the JAVA vs. .NET wars were about to seriously take off, a company named MainSoft has launched Visual MainWin, a product that allows .Net programmers to create fully compliant, Java 1.4 specification bytecode without learning the Java programming language.
Mainsoft's Visual MainWin for the J2EE platform integrates with (and requires) Microsoft Visual Studio.Net, and allows developers using Visual Basic .Net or C#, as well as ASP.Net and ADO.Net class libraries, to create, deploy, and debug applications on J2EE application servers, including IBM WebSphere 5.1, BEA WebLogic 8.1 and Tomcat 5.0.
MainWin compiles Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) into Java bytecode. According to Mainsoft CEO Yaacov Cohen, Microsoft's intermediate code is very similar to Java bytecode, and the company will be able to maintain compatibility as Java bytecode changes.
