Microsoft's new LINQ technology for data access looks dead on.

Does (will) java have anything like it?

SQL databases, XML, objects and other data stores are all addressed the
same way.

Scott Gu explains it all:

On the off chance that this isn't a .Net-vs-Java troll...

In a Java EE 5 environment you can use EJBQL in much the same way.
It's not implemented as a language-level extension (EJBQL queries are
Strings, either hard-coded or provided via a configuration mechanism),
but you can do the same sort of summarization and selection operations
with it.

And of course there's Hibernate Query Language (HQL)...
