hahhaa

mind u. generics was an after thought in c sharp as well. and c sharp generics is not as sophisticated as C++'s but it is definitely better than java i agree.

there are java libraries that support automatic properties using reflection and instrumentation

lamba's equivalent -closure - is probably coming into Java 7 but there has been a lot of debate for and against it 

i am not sure why u will need partial methods. u can package your code in modules using OSGI and achieve the same effect

am not a fan of extension methods. i think u can achieve the same goal by following simple object oriented techniques like using aggregation

conditional compilation - again this is not new technology. this has been in  c/c++ for decades. i don't see the need for it in the language itself. i can replicate this using ant or maven when compiling my code so no big deal

not sure why i will use delegates still trying to figure out why i need it

LINQ, there are loads of equivalent libraries in java - lambdaj,sbql4j,jaque,google collections  . . .

Beaf:
The long and short is, C# is no little game. Its funny that things have come full swing and the latest version of Java is based on the advances in C#.

the only java 5 feature that i can think of  that supports your argument is generics and it is a c++ concept  not c sharp .

u know its old and u woke the thread.

u need to be flogged

3) Simplified Deployment:
.Net framework has a very simplified deployment wizard so that the installation of the computer software could be managed easily.

Have u seen Maven? it is a java project, this days everything even .Net apps are getting built in Maven .

5) Faster development:
Through .Net we can make compelling applications much faster.

Java IDE's like Eclipse or Intellij are now as matured as Visual Studio and even better this days.
Apart from Gui development which VS is obviously the king.
Simple tasks like code completion, code refactoring, debuging are bog standard in all the Java IDE's.
i was surprised when i recently had a chance to play with VS and found out that i needed to buy resharper to do some of the things i could do easily in Eclipse.

6) Base Class Library:
This is a library of functionalities available to the .Net Framework. This porvides classes which consists of a number of common functions like - file reading/writing, database interaction, XML data manipulation etc.

are u kidding me ?? all these are available in java and much more.

what u should be worried about is why there is such a shocking multi-threading support in .Net.
There are so many thread functionality is Java 5 concurrent package that are not in .Net. i can give u examples

are u not married?
