So, I'm tinkering around with MonoDevelop on my ubuntu 11.10 64-bit, and when I tried to run a Java console application I got this error immediately when opening the new project:

Error while trying to load the project '/home/myhomefolder/documents/java/project.jproj': Project does not support framework'.NETFramework,Version=v4.0'

What can I do to resolve this error?

  • Extra Info: I tried looking for an update that would supply a fix, and couldn't find anything. In fact, that is how I was directed to the stackoverflow website. There is a link from monoproject to this site for questions. So I thought I'd give it a try. Should I just switch to netbeans for java, or is this fixable? I don't know all of the ins and outs of the mono IDE yet, so this may be something simple. – openscope Jun 29 '12 at 19:37
  • Are you trying to open a Java Project to work with it in the Mono IDE? Mono is essentially .net, so it is not made to work with Java from my understanding. – Jacob Schoen Jun 29 '12 at 19:58
  • .NET is a microsoft framework – Adel Boutros Jun 29 '12 at 20:11
  • Yes jschoen, I am trying to open a new Java Project in mono, and mono allows for Java applications when starting a new project. So I think it is feasible to think that maybe it's available somehow for the mono IDE. – openscope Jun 29 '12 at 21:23

    Yes, .NET is a microsoft framework. Thank you for that. The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything is 42. – openscope Jun 29 '12 at 21:30

You can try changing the project format default from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2008. (Edit/Preferences/"Load/Save"). That worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04.

As a side note, this fix also works for Visual Basic projects (New default VB.NET project immediately gives an error)
