First, you will need Java. Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://www.tux.org/pub/java/debian unstable main non-free
Then do "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get install j2sdk1.3" or
"apt-get install j2sdk1.4"
You can install tomcat from the packages, but I don't use it so I won't
say too much.
There are several EJB containers out there, but you will need to
download them from the appropriate websites. Try Resin or JBoss. I like
Resin, but JBoss may be more popular. Neither of them are 100% free.
The Eclipse IDE can be installed by "apt-get install eclipse" :)
