Is anyone here using Maven  . Things like these are a piece of cake

I think comparing the language features of Java to .NET will not suffice because it will be akin to cheating.

C sharp is a better Java in terms of language features and the designer of C sharp made sure of these.

The main reason why i am for Java on the server side is because i have more flexibility on how i choose to deploy my app, i don't want to be bothered about licenses, i need a vibrant open source community

and i just DON'T TRUST MICROSOFT because I have had my hands  burnt before ( Visual basic 6 apps portability) and will not want to experience it again.

if u ready n u know u trust java, come up with a simple java gui app that will fetch http://www.google.com.ng and save it's content in save.html in the the current directory.

are u talking about desktop gui. if you are then i will be the first to say java sucks in destop gui. If you are developing windows desktop gui. The undisputed champion is .NET

but if you are talking about a web gui while java might not be the most ideal. there are some pretty cool java tech that will make it very easy to develop.

But like i have said Java is most powerful in the server side so if you think PHP can match it. Lets discuss.

Last century, that was true. These days, .NET rules.

I get it .Net is like a better clone of Java and while .Net simplified a lot of language features. Java is catching up very fast. For example .Net introduced a pretty solid Threading package but Java caught up in Java 1.6 and is set to surpass it in 1.7 with a package for Parallel programming.

From an architectural standpoint Java has an edge because you have many target platform deployment options- (most medium to large companies run a unix type platform on the server side). Also there are many more very good Java Developers (and many more interesting Projects)and from my experience some of the better .Net developers were actually previously Java guys.

And the Java open source community is in a different league when compared to what is available in .NET.
