That's 3 different questions...
First - to write Java all you need is an editor. kwrite has been
suggested elsewhere. vim and emacs are also decent editors, and
emacs is a little friendlier to people who don't know it at all.
There are IDE solutions, which others have talked about. To
compile Java you need a JDK (Java Developper's (or developpment)
Kit) - there are many of these, among whick, Sun's own JDK, IBM's
JDK, the Blackdown port of the JDK, and kaffe (another free JDK
and JRE).
To run Java porgrams, you need a Java Runtime Environment. This
usually comes with the JDK. But if you're using gjc (the GNU
Java compiler) I don't think you get the runtime files at all.
And that's it.
Cheers,
Dave.
