Java Programming

Hello Experts,

I stopped programming Java a while ago to try VB.NET. It is a horribly bloated language but boy is it easy to use. GUI's are easy to build and connections to databases are easy. My question is, is there such a thing as a "VB.NET suite" for java? I also saw that C# is very similar to Java but I am afraid that it might be as bloated being that it is a .NET language. What are the benefits usign Java over C# or vice versa.

Thank you,

Zac

Hello,

I have programmed Java in the past and I like the language. I like the platform independancy but 99.999% of the apps I write are for Windows platform. Is there a Java GUI creator like Visual Basic? That is one thing I found with Java, somewhat tedious to use creating GUI's.

Thanks,

Zac

Hello,

Thank you. That was all great answers. I looked around a on the web  and found interest in java based webapps. From what I gather they can be quite powerful and could speed up in network environments when you dont have to transfer data over the network.

Again, thank you all for your suggestions and input.
