    I'm completely new to Java but I have done some console programming using
    C++. I've tried using Sun's j2sdk1.4.2 along with Notepad but when I open the
    command window and enter the command to compile my program I always get
    errors, like it can't find the path specified or this or that is not
    recognized as an internal or external command. So that approach isn't working
    too good.

    Actually I would prefer to use a tool that will allow me to write my code in
    the code editor window and also be able to click a Run or Compile button and
    run my program from within the IDE. Now will Visual J# allow me to do that?
    For now I'm pretty much just interested in writing console(non-GUI) programs.
    Can I do that using Visual J#? I've also noticed that there are few if any
    books that deal with Visual J#. Why is that?

    One last question. If I use Visual J# will I be using the genuine Java
    language, or has Microsoft changed it in any way? I hope the code I write
    from my books will work with it.
