Java is a platform-independent object-oriented programming language.
The basic idea behind Java is that from one codebase, written in Java, you can compile programs that will run on any platform that supports the Java runtime environment: Windows, Linux, Solaris, whatever.
.NET is also an object-oriented. It is Microsoft's attempt to simplify the process of programming Windows applications. .NET uses a common framework, which allows a programmer to write his application in any supported programming language -- Visual Basic, C#, J# -- and access the same data types, classes, assemblies, etc., and have the program run under any Windows PC that has the proper framework version installed.
In other words, if I write an application in VB.NET and the .NET Framework 2.0, I can be sure any Windows computer that has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed will run my program with no need to install or upgrade additional libraries, as was often the need back in the days of COM development (which .NET has replaced).
Likewise, I could re-code that program in C#, and it would run on the same computer, just like the VB version ran.
Note to previous answerers: While simply wrong answers are bad, glib answers are worse, especially when they aren't funny.

.Net is basically Microsofts version of JAVA. They took a lot of the principals from JAVA...inheritance, instantiation, platform compatibility, etc... and rolled it into their own version.
However .Net integrates several languages to allow people with different skills to work as a team. For example, a C++ developer can write part of a project and a VB developer can write another part and it can all be blended into an ASP webpage.

Java was originally created by a company called Sun Microsystems. It was originally a web based language. .NET is Microsoft's web-based platform that includes VB.NET, C#, J#, ASP.NET and ADO.NET.
