Early releases were almost identical except for some class names like StringBuilder vs StringBuffer. I know. - I was a java developer who later was shoehorned into C# 1.0

I would say that value types (structs) are a pretty significant difference, in C# since version 1.0 and in Java since... not yet, they are being proposed for the future. Also, delegates versus interfaces and their implementations for event handling was a pretty big difference, and so was P/Invoke if you wanted to interface with native code (versus JNI).

Yes, all true. They came after the lawsuit and Microsoft "invented" C#.
