If you're a Java developer who needs to interoperate with, learn about, or migrate to the .NET Framework, MSDN can be a pretty daunting place for information and a lot of the content seems focused on COM to .NET or VB6 to .NET.  Well Brian Keller and I (among others) just launched the Java Developer Resource Center at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/java/ to be a one-stop shop for Java developer resources on MSDN. 

Below is a quick list of the content available on the site

• Interoperability - What options are available for .NET and J2EE interoperability

• .NET and J2EE Platform 4-page interoperability poster and Simon Guest's open letter to the community on interoperability 
• Three samples chapters from Simon’s .NET and J2EE Interoperability Toolkit book
• MSDN articles on interoperability
• Learning - Learn or evaluate C# or J# and the .NET Framework
  
  • C# Language for Java Developers whitepaper
  • Visual Studio .NET 2003 Interactive Simulation
  • Resources to get you started including PAG patterns, tutorials, quickstarts, and other resources on GDN and MSDN
  • Downloads, Downloads, Downloads 

• Migration - Migrate legacy Java assets to the .NET Framework

• Java Language Conversion Assistant resources
• Visual J# .NET resources
• Java Virtual Machine migration resources
