Java -> C#
JVM -> CLR

are pretty obvious.

WinFX -> JavaFX

is not very accurate.

Think:

      |->WPF
Flex-|
      |->JavaFX

JavaFX was a working name for .NET 3.0 that introduced WPF and WCF and 
WF. The WCF and WF parts are completely different areas than JavaFX.

EJB is heavily inspired by CORBA.

But I don't know if:

CORBA -> MTS/COM+ -> EJB

or:

       |->MTS/COM+
CORBA-|
       |->EJB

are most correct.
