I'm on the verge of abandoning Java for my projects. Currently, there's just almost no business reason to use it. Microsoft tools (+ReSharper) are now as nice as tools for Java, ASP.NET is as good as any Java web framework, and WPF totally kills SWING on the client.
Netbeans has freaken awsome refactoring. ReSharper has good number of features ( less then Netbeans). But that fucken thing makes VS so unstable and causes lots of issues.
Unit testing is very unstable and VS is more stable without it.
And.... here comes the kicker.............YOU HAVE TO F*CKEN PAY FOR THAT PIECE OF SHIT.....

Actually, I'd argue Java is also only in theory.
I've had to re-write too much stuff because a java built in function relied on native libraries, which did not act the same (regular expression handling in 1.4 and earlier, is a good example - go betweeen HPUX, Linux and Windows, and there can be serious issues). A lot of the UI stuff doesn't work well between versions either.
It's gotten better, but on a similar note, anything I've used from
Each has their flaws in cross platform use -
Why would you mention a bug in Java 1.4? That's god damn ancient history.
>go betweeen HPUX, Linux and Windows
WTF do you run on HPUX to execute

>Java.makes.me.want.to.claw.my.eyes.out() .NET may only be truly on windows, but it's actually not so bad to code in. I wrote a DB reporting and maint. app in C# in roughly 2 weeks, the previous version of which in Java took almost 2 months.
Good god, please learn the language and the tools and don't compain that something took you longer that on another platform.
> Crazy easy remote DB access (sure, neither are exactly rocket science, but .net was quicker and more flexible)
DB access .... please this is pathetic..... Java with JDBC drivers for every database under the sun and Hibernate is the easiest thing.
No complains if you dont know the right tools. Netbeans with Hibernate / JPA class generation is very nice. Database schema updates too to reflect your entity class changes. Try that with .NETs pathetic NHibernate or other ORM tools.

WTF is this? Since when is something hard to install? .... Pathetic comment.
> Attractive frontends - this will probably start yet another flamewar, but many of the java frontends are HIDEOUS
Ah... again, not knowing the tools... look around.... https://substance.dev.java.net/see.html has freaken outrageous number of look-and-feel plugins. Any swing app can be skinned. Nimbus look is my favorite.

These are comments of a retard.
> Support for dumping data into Excel and Word - this was a killer feature. I was able to generate SOX and sizing reports on the fly with C#. Java? No such luck. I never did get it working quickly and properly.
Please don't talk about things you have no idea about. We use JasperReports and it's very nice. Ah, don't give me that pathetic SSRS as an example either. Try hitting a SOAP service with that piece of shit and you'l understand. Dumping data from Excel is not a problem. We use ETL tools like Talend to extract information from Excel files and expose the information as a WebService. If you dont know of best practices and processing Excel files, dont even bother talking about it.

3D Blu-ray Spec Finalized, PS3 Supported 157
Lucas123 writes "The Blu-ray Disc Association announced today that it has finalized the specification for Blu-ray 3-D discs. The market for 3-D, which includes 3-D enabled televisions, is expected to be $15.8 billion by 2015. Blu-ray 3-D will create a full 1080p resolution image for both eyes using MPEG4-MVC format. Even though two hi-def images are produced, the overhead is typically only 50% compared to equivalent 2D content. The spec also allows PS3 game consoles to play Blu-ray 3-D content. 'The specification also incorporates enhanced graphic features for 3D. These features provide a new experience for users, enabling navigation using 3D graphic menus and displaying 3D subtitles positioned in 3D video.'"
