Simple question deserve simple answers.

Does Microsoft .NET support Java?

you have other compliers which can actually compile Java to churn out .NET

Unfortunately, not a simple answer

..NET does not support the JVM. Everything in .NET is compiled to CLR and
then JIT'ed to machine code regardless of language.

..NET does support the Java *language* through J#. It also implements the
Java libraries but only up to version 1.1.4. Note that J# the language is
also only current as of 1.1.4.

So .NET is Java *source* compatible up to v1.1.4. You can take Java source
code and compile either under a Java compiler or J# compiler. However there
is no support in .NET for .class files, etc.

J# gives you access to the entire .NET framework as well as the Java 1.1.4
libraries.

..NET also supports java-like syntax via jscript.net.

But you still end up with the standard .net intermediate code calling the
standard .net libraries
