D is much different (and better IMO)

IMO The best way to think about it is that the two approaches are not
comparable. D templates are a kind of hygienic macro system for
declarations. Java does not have this. Java generics make the type
system more expressive. D lacks this kind of expressiveness.
I'd think type erasure techniques make it possible to emulate Java's
generics in D, whereas D's templates can't be emulated in Java.
