MORE INFORMATION

It is possible to use these new language features with Visual J++ 1.1. You can do this by replacing the compiler file in Visual J++ with three files from the Microsoft SDK for Java. First, save a copy of the compiler (Jvc.exe) from your existing Visual J++ installation. Next, copy Jvc.exe, Jps.dll and Msjvc.dll into your Visual J++ directory. Projects will then build using the new compiler.
