Microsoft continued its push to help acclimate academic computer science programs to its .NET Framework Thursday with a user interface that helps teachers and students use their Java-based curriculum with Visual Studio .NET 2003.

The Microsoft Supplemental User Interface (UI) Library for Visual J# .NET functions somewhat like the 2 JFC Swing specification, a family of Java class libraries provided as part of J2SE to support building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and graphics functionality for Java applications.
