I very much enjoyed VA for Java. We were using Smalltalk with Gemstone for a number of years, but the internet and Java killed the Smalltalk industry, so we migrated everything to Java using VA for Java and early Websphere. VA for Java hid the idea of source files and gave a good illusion of a dynamic and “live” Smalltalk-like environment. Later moving to eclipse was the end of that illusion and any Smalltalk feel. Added: we also had no problem with version control in Smalltalk or Java, both tool sets provided great team tools
