Just did a full install of VS 2008 and noticed that J# is no where to be
found.  Did MS finally figure out that no one was using it?

(Not exactly an announcement, but a confirmation at least.)

Did MS at least move the utilities libraries to the main framework?  The VS
2005 J# libraries contain a full ZIP/UNZIP file manager that can be called
from C# and VB.

You can redistribute the J# libraries, and you can still use those
libraries from .NET 2.0 with .NET 3.5.

Absolutely - they're just .NET libraries.
