The prospect that a vital element of Microsoft's .NET will debut in a Java IDE has come a step closer. A plug-in that connects Microsoft's Corp's C Sharp programming language with the Eclipse Framework has been built by Puteaux, France-based Improve SA. Eclipse is built in Java's Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT). Improve is believed to the first such plug-in for C Sharp. Improve said it meant developers could now experiment in C Sharp, Microsoft's Java-like programming language, without buying the Visual Studio.NET development environment.
