We are a small ISV in the financial services industry that produces a native solution (Java and .NET platforms) using the produces the following stacks
Java .NET
---- ----
Spring Spring.NET
Hibernate nHibernate
ExtJS ExtJS
ANT nANT
jUnit nUnit
The individual projects are actually structured so that we actually share many components (i.e. ExtJS screens) by linking the two projects via SVN externals. This way we only develop certain components once and share across the platforms.
We have found that the similarities of the platforms and architecture, actually allowed us to create one logical architecture that was implemented natively on both platforms. Due to the similarities we actually have one development team supporting both platforms, regardless of whether those developers originally started as a C# developer or a Java developer.
This would not have been possible IMHO with the Spring framework.
Good job
PS: I do have a number of "WHY?" moments (i.e. syntax of configuration files being different, certain API(s) being different) but am happy nonetheless.
