It's interesting to see that GlassFish/WSIT is the only Java entry in ".NET Tool or Add-in" category.

Here are some of the comments from reviewers:

• Java SE 6 - New parsing and XML to Java object-mapping APIs allow developers to build Web services (now more convenient)
• NetBeans IDE
• Eases development with the best out-of-the box experience and management
• Innovative features such as JRuby/Ruby on Rails and .Net support
• Visual Mobile Designer for rapid development and prototyping
