Time heals all wounds, and also reduces the differences between rival technologies. Such is the case for the Java and .NET enterprise computing platforms. As technical differences become less of a factor, the last real last differentiator of the two platforms, the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), is also disappearing fast. IT leaders faced with a shortage of Java talent can use the current Java IDEs to help smooth the transformation of a C# programmer into a much needed Java developer.
No Longer a Case of Either/Or
Historically, few companies actually leveraged the similarities between .NET and Java platform languages. Instead, they typically chose to rip and replace their platforms. Given the developments in both .NET (.NET Framework 3.0) and Java (Java EE 5), companies should view rip and replace as the last option. Additionally, with the strength of Java IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA and the most recent version of NetBeans, companies will find it easier to have both computing platforms coexist instead of eliminating one in favor of the other.
