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

Enjoy all the details here. Overall 5 of my nominations won, not bad :)
