.net and Java have very similar capabilities. The important difference is that .net is very much tied into Windows and gives a "perfect" Windows look and feel, but doesn't run on Linux (other than thru cludges with Wine) or Mac. Java apps are portable across all desktop platforms, but always look very slightly different from the native platforms look and feel.
In general, .net is better for Windows-only projects, Java is better for projects that may need to run on different platforms.

if required export(s) to MsOffice (Word, Excell with formulas) then only Net is result, otherwise I don't see any differencies
java and .net have lot of custom L&F
java required JRE instalations
