Answer 1

where have you been, Visual J# is dead. It has been discontinued by microsoft after VS2005. You can read more about the retirement of J# from microsoft website Retirement of J# language and Java Language Conversion Assistant from future versions of Visual Studio.

if you want to learn java, try native java http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
