Is there a Java package providing funcionality like the .Net System.Data namespace ? Specificaly the DataSet and Adaptor classes ?
A:
ADO.NET is a framework with multiple uses, and DataSet is one of the main abstractions. Tell us more about what you want to achieve, and I'm sure somebody will find a Java framework for that purpose.
If you want a simple way to map Java objects to a data backend (like XML files), take a look at some of the POJO (Plain Old Java Object) frameworks.

Hibernate is a popular framework in the Java world. Pretty simple mapping of objects to tables and lots more.

Hibernate is anything but simple.

I agree with skaffman, Hibernate has a lot of features but whether or not its complexity is justified is a subject of much debate.

Matt, Hibernate is not what he is looking for. If it was there was NHibernate available on the .NET side.

The equivalent to ADO.NET is JDBC. You can get the flavor of it here:
