Not clear to me what package you want to build. VirtualBox itself can't 
be built using VS2015, but there are people out there who have no 
problem implementing VirtualBox API client code and building their 
applications using VS2015.

vboxjmscom.jar is pretty much unusable. It can't talk to a large portion 
of the VirtualBox API due to significant logical flaws in the 
automatically generated code which bridges the gap to the raw win32com 
support. That's why we no longer include it in the SDK.

We do want to address these issues, but haven't found time so far.
