I was alerted to this product today with email from John. MainSoft has produced an interesting product, Visual MainWin for the J2EE platform. Basically, this looks like a VSIP product (or add-in) to Visual Studio that allows you to write .NET code in C# or VB.NET that runs on backend J2EE services. In the middle, MainSoft takes the IL produced by the compilers, and with a Mainsoft Binary Compiler, translates the IL bytecodes into Java Byytecode. It apparently works with Web Services, ASP.NET, and ADO.NET (no WinForms obviously). The idea is that developers can use their familar VS and .NET languages to create composite applications for any standard J2EE application server. This is very interesting.
