Is there a way to manage/debug/compile Java projects in Visual Studio 2010?

Before you answer, please read this.

The short answer - No.

The long answer - No, because the supposed intellisense support for Java that the blog entry referred to, in the question, relies on J# support. I believe it has been quite sometime since Microsoft has discontinued J# - VS2008 does not have it.

In the long run, you're better off learning how to use Eclipse/Netbeans/IntelliJ IDEA or any other IDE for the purpose of managing Java projects.

Sure. Visual Studio works with any language so long as someone takes the time to write the plug-ins for it. Heck, Mainsoft has already added JVM debugging support to Visual Studio. They just don't support the language.

The only problem is YOU are going to have to be the one who writes it.

I won't lie to you. It won't be easy and fan-boys on both sides will hate you for it. But if you pull it off I can at least offer you some money to write about how you did it.

I am not planning to write one :) I was just wondering if there are other geek that did that adventure before
