Response to: you're kidding!
As the editor of ONJava.com, it's my obligation to at least point out Java features as well as Java derivatives, Java alternatives, etc. While J# is not even close to a viable option for writing enterprise applications, it's still out there for Java programmers who want to build 'simple' Java applications for Windows.

  i agree, and i apologize for the apparent sharpness of my response. but if that is the intent of the review, shouldn't the at be pointed out? as i said, o'reilly is a well respected source of information, but by not calling out that it is not viable for enterprise, (and i'm sure you and i are in disagreement about the legitimacy of it being used for 'simple' apps), folk may be encouraged to try to make it do things it can't because it doesn't adhere to the java platform, it reduces java to merely a language.
  again, i apologize, i typed quicker than i should have.
