I'm a .NET developer, but don't know too much about Java. Since I'm going to 
learn Java, I'm wondering if Java changes as much as .NET.

.NET appears in 2002-2003 with 1.1 version. Then each two years Microsoft 
changes .NET version and add new features, new concepts, new languages, etc. 
There was Visual Studio 2003, then appears Visual Studio 2005, then VS 2008 
and then VS 2010, and so on. It started with Framework 1.1, then came 2.0, 
then 3.5 and then 4.0.

For Java is similar? Did it have an evolution in a similar way?

Hi,

Java is a living language, so it is subject to permanent evolution.

The difference lies in the fact that Java evolution is dictated by a large 
body that comprises organizations and individuals who have huge code assets 
based on Java, and who would experience great losses, both financial and 
operational, if a change breaks compatibility, while Microsoft is wildly 
running after "innovation", without the least regard or sense of loyalty for 
their customers.

Only plagues evolve in Microsoft's fashion.
