These are two different languages that just have some general ideas in
common. I'm actually surprised that you are even still talking about
Visual J++, since it has been discontinued for years. Microsoft no longer
supports it.

Basically, J++ was a lookalike to a very old version of Java with some
non-Java elements.

So if you are really careful, you can still write code that just uses the
common subset and avoids all newer features of Java, as well as all
Microsoft-specific code. I'm not saying that this is a good idea - merely
that technologically it is doable. Generally, Java code written for Java2
won't work with J++, and as a rule of thumb J++ code won't work anywhere
at all (actually, it will work on Microsoft's JVM, which in itself is
obsoleted).
