Ok, so the problem is that Java the language supports only one target platform. This is not completely true, I don't know too much about about J#, but as far as I know using J# basically you can compile your program written with Java syntax to .NET.

J# is capped: the last version was shipped in 2007, it is supported by VS 2005 (now superseded by two newer versions) and support will end in 5 years.

And even that was quite an old version of the language--1.2, I think.

Mono is able to run Java code side-by-side with .NET as well as having Java and .NET object interoperate with each other. This is done with IKVM (http://www.ikvm.net) the Java VM implementation that runs on top of .NET and Mono.
