I think it's fair to say something like the following:

* The J++ extensions to Java (delegates, events) were on the list of .NET 
runtime features.
* J# was built on top of the .NET runtime, using ideas but probably little 
code from J++
* J# was intended as an upgrade path for J++ users, so some attention was 
paid to backward compatibility, but it wasn't completely compatible
