Can someone give me a good guide on migrating from C # to Java?

Question

I am an experienced .Net developer and am well versed in OOP concepts. I will be working on a Java project in the near future and was interested to find out if anyone could give me a good porting guide for migrating from C # 4.0 to Java.

Java equivalent for:

• LINQ to Objects (I understand that Java does not support anonymous types like C #, but a good collection library will be helful)
• ASP.Net MVC 3 (what cool kids use to create Java web applications these days)
• Windsor Castle (something that supports free api registration)
• WCF 4.0, SOAP for the most part, REST some scripts
• Assembly - nant (something is not xml?)
• Language setting guide (without lambda, anonymous methods, etc.).

thanks

Answer 2

I've been a java developer for a long time, but IMO is the coolest web infrastructure for any static language I've ever seen. And not a bit.
