Hello. I am trying to practice programming in Java, R, Python and maybe SQL. Since I did not like using Eclipse for Java, is it possible to use Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019?

    Except for Android development, no. Not for free at least. For Java try Visual Studio Code.

    Hi @Valeria Uriza ,welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. At this time Microsoft is not planning to add support for Java to Visual Studio in the foreseeable future.
    For now, you can use Visual Studio Code for Java development. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/java.

    If you have any suggestion for visual studio, please submit it directly from Visual Studio by choosing Provide a Suggestion from the Provide Feedback icon near the top right of the main Visual Studio window. The team will direct your suggestion to the appropriate engineering team for further evaluation.
