So Visual Studio can do Java now?

I thought Microsoft lost the legal argument with Sun years ago forbidding them from including Java in Visual Studio. Now I come across this info on the Web that says you can install a plugin that will allow you to use Java right in Visual Studio. How did this happen? Kinda confused here.

Visual J++[^] was discontinued in 2004. Visual J#[^] was discontinued in 2007. There's a Java Language Support[^] extension for Visual Studio, but that isn't provided or maintained by Microsoft. Beyond that, Java only seems to be supported in Android projects[^].

Look on YouTube. There is a guy demonstrating doing Java with Visual Studio 2010.

I didn't think so. But the guy demonstrating it...it looked good. But perhaps it's a crippled plugin that only has a little bit of functionality.

Times have changed. If you pay attention to what is offered by Microsoft; and not someone on YouTube, then you will find out a lot of stuff, that will convince you that Microsoft is not including anything in Visual Studio themselves, but in other services that are offered by community.

On another note, this was mentioned,

Currently Released We currently offer the following tools to help you integrate your Java development with Visual Studio Team Services: - An IntelliJ plugin for integration with Git repositories (with more functionality on the way!) - An Android Studio plugin for integration with Git repositories (with more functionality on the way!) - An Eclipse plugin for managing version control, build, and work item actions. - A Git Credential Manager for simplifying and caching your sign-ins for Git. - A Visual Studio Code extension for monitoring your builds and managing your pull requests and work items for your Team Services Git repositories.
See? No Visual Studio here. What you might have seen (since I have not seen that YouTube video), would be a community-based product and Microsoft doesn't provide any licenses or support for community-based tools or extensions. What Sun did, was entirely wrong move of theirs and they shot themselves in their feet. Microsoft has .NET Core, why would they need Java for cross-platform development? Microsoft has Xamarin, why would they need Java for mobile development, and Xamarin tools are being developed more rapidly as compared to any Java code management service in Visual Studio? Microsoft has ASP.NET Core, why would they need Java EE for anything at all? In other terms, it is a great strategy of Microsoft to support Java developers for their Visual Studio Team Services cloud DevOps environment. Other than that, I don't think Microsoft would have any interest in Java language. This is where you will find how Microsoft implements Java in Visual Studio, [Visual Studio Team Services for Java](http://java.visualstudio.com/)
