The Java ecosystem is well maintained in > Debian. Rewriting your Java projects in C# sounds like a lot of work. I have been working Java for almost 20 years, but I'm somewhat terrfied with current Oracle steps. They started to remove code from JDK (currently just a few classes from they com pakcages). They removed applets, WebStart etc. They depeciated Swing already. They are working on completly new implementation of vm called Gral. If things will go like this I'm not sure if somebody will have to fork openjdk to keep things working.
But anyway I just think of things I forget working on Java. Directory dlls of which you can start with is like heaven comparing to classloader (it made sens when there were applets, but now it seems no go). Calling native code is so difficult in Java. JavaFX become separate project which no one knows where it will go. For business logic .Net LINQ is nice, properties simplifies code etc. Compiere (and its fork ADempiere) store generic forms definitions in database so it is just to create generic display engine to make forms working (not all, but most). Current business logic is not so complicated there and writing it in C# or even Basic would in my opinion make it scale better (in Java terms Kotlin language is something similar to C#) Anyway real problem as I mentioned is client. Generic forms are enough for many use cases but not all. There is custom forms and logic you need to have on client (going web for ERP is still not good option IMO). In C/C++/NET you can download dll on demand and open it (ok security). In Java you have classloader path which AFAIK can not be modified (maybe I never tried to do this) Having go .Net brings me another project in my mind called Tryton (http ://tryton.org). It is small ERP written in Python and GTK. Maybe with engine rewrite it could be run on IronPython and incrementally be extended to other .Net languages. >
