One of the beauties of Java is that you don't need much to get started.
Basically, you can write your java source code in any editor (create a
*.java) file, and compile it to a class file using "javac" (java compiler),
which you will find in the "bin" directory of the JDK. You can run your
program using the Java Virtual Machine, "java", also in the "bin" directory.
e.g. write "MyProgram.java"
javac MyProgram.java --> outputs "MyProgram.class"
java MyProgram --> runs your class file
You can also easily turn your program into a Java Applet and run it in a
web-browser.
There is loads of on-line material and books on getting started with Java,
so with a bit of reading, you should be up and running in no time.

If you want to write JSP and Java Servlets you need the JSDK (Java Servlet
Development kit) - from Sun, a JSP engine, such as GnuJSP (available from
Gnu), and a Serlvet engine for your web-server. Popular ones are JRun
(www.allaire.com) with IIS, or Apache JServ (www.apache.org/jserv) . All
this stuff is free.
You'll get lots of information on setting these up from this mail list!
