ther eis nothing different, is just like saying english and spanish, everything is the same but different dialect.
Java is a C-Based language, syntax is the only thing that changes. If you are able to use C#, then java should be easier.
Is up to you what do you prefer to use depending on what are you doing?

i think it comes down to what you are programming for. both languages are very similar and are tied to a required framework. if you want your users to have to install java, then use java. if you would rather they had to install .net (which most windows useres will already have) then use c#
i prefer c#... i don't code java but there are certainly some java gurus that tell you it's the greatest thing ever
i have tried eclipse to and its great im sure compared to using a notepad to script, but it's no visual studio 2010 man

Java's pretty nice if you want to run things on a VPS or have it be cross-platformable. Otherwise I have heard that the C# GUI development is much easier.
In the United States there are more non-freelance employers looking for Java programmers, but if you're after programming just for yourself they're almost exactly the same besides the two reasons mentioned above.

same here, I prefer Java cause there is eclipse 
It just feels like eclipse writes the programm for you (well, it acutally doesn't but development is so easy with it and a bit of knowledge)

Big difference between the two java runs on the JVM so it is compatible with any OS that has the virtual machine installed on it. Java I would say is much slower than C# although C# has to be run on .Net framework its still faster. I haven't researched Mono much does it compile C# to machine code or does install a .Net like framework to run apps on. I like java for cross platform C# for pretty windows GUI's. If you looking for speed you want to go with C, or C++

I doubt c# is MUCH faster than Java, they are very similar and both use virtual machines. With c# you are married to Microsoft and all their crap so it may be harder to develop on the platform for free unless you want to dig around to pirate a bunch of software and its probably harder to run c# programs on a linux server (which is always cheaper). I'm a Java programmer and just prefer the open source community overall

Java and C# run neck and neck for most things. There are some performance gains and losses with each language. If you can write in one, you can write in the other. The main difference is learning how to tweak the JVM for Java.
Java is nicer in that it was build to run multi-platform out of the box. C#, you are not necessarily married to Microsoft as you can use Mono on *nix, but honestly it doesn't run as nice and Mono is years behind on keeping up with the latest .NET developments.
Long story short, if you want easy software for the masses, use C# since .NET is part of Windows these days. If you are looking or data crunching power that you can run on a server, then Java is likely your best choice.

Also it's slightly easier to write "efficient" code for C# than Java. For example, C# now has great features such as Parrarel.ForEach and parrarel collections and they are available out of the box.
Also, with Java, at one time or another you are going to be introduced to Maven, and Maven chews up newbs and spits them out. If you ever decide to learn java, I suggest staying as far away from Maven as possible unless you are developing an enterprise application.

same goes for java

Java is more platform independant, but C# is getting more and more popular. There are a lot jobs for C# WPF that are highly paid.
You can build your apps targeting .NET 2.0, so even the XP users won't have to install the big framework. Well you are going to lose some useful features, but it will be better for the end user. I think Windows 7 comes with .NET 3.5.
Telerik and Devexpress sell very stylish and useful .NET controls, well the price is around $1000 but it is worth it and will make your life easier.

"Java developers are more likely to be University graduates with a strong understanding of OOP"
THIS MADE ME ROLL ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING, so .NET developers are more likely to be Elementary school graduates.
