Is it possible to create a Java application using Visual Studio 2013?
Because I don't like using NetBeans or Eclipse and I prefer using Visual Studio over those SDKs.
Thanks.

1To be open, VS 2013 doesn't support Java and some plugins are there for syntax highlighting but nothing makes VS to work for Java like C#RaceBase– RaceBase2013-11-15 08:32:04 +00:00Commented Nov 15, 2013 at 8:32

1Why insist using Visual Studio, just because you "don't like using .netbeans or Eclipse" ? Doesn't sound like making sense.Raptor– Raptor2013-11-15 08:35:47 +00:00Commented Nov 15, 2013 at 8:35

1I don't like NetBeans or Eclipse ether. IDEA is pretty good (I don't even write C# without the IntelliJ ReSharper addin!) Anyway, J++/J# (the Microsoft form of "Java" and transitory path) has been removed since VS2008 (since 2005 for J++) so .. not supported.user2864740– user28647402013-11-15 08:41:36 +00:00Commented Nov 15, 2013 at 8:41

2I would like to have Java on Visual Studio, for two reasons, it IS a strong IDE, and Eclipse fails way too much.pojomx– pojomx2014-04-24 16:15:19 +00:00Commented Apr 24, 2014 at 16:15

you cannot create java programs from Visual Studio 2013. you have to use intelliJ or Eclipse or Netbeans or something like that. Eclipse is a very good IDE and there are many useful tools you can add to Eclipse.
Update: from @kamran's comment below, came through this link. Though you cannot expect it to function like a fully equipped IDE it is promising. It is an extension to the Visual Studio IDE.

How about visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/…

@KamranShahid It is not a fully equipped IDE ideal for java development.. you can see from the description that, it is a very basic extension that helps in syntax highlighting and braces matching. You cannot expect this extension to make visual studio to function as it would in a c# program (intellisense, debugging etc) But it is looking promising. Will update my answer on this. Thx.. :)
