Many seem to like using the IBM/Sun Java Development Tools, however that's purely personal preference - you might also give some thought to various runtime JREs though, kaffe is good if you're not developing Swing GUIs. Have a look the packages "jikes" and "ibm-fdk1.1-installer" for example. You're also going to want emacs and maybe Apache/Tomcat for Servlets/JSP. Pretty soon you'll hate Java like everyone else :) --jcm
