If you're programming Java, as Tony mentioned, you need the Java Development Kit (JDK). It includes the Java compiler (javac) as well as the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which includes the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Google for "how to start programming in Java"; there are thousands of excellent tutorials on this already.

What do you guys actually use for the developing environment. I have been using jGrasp because my school used it but have recently found Eclipse to be attractive.
