There are a number of JDKs available for Debian GNU/Linux. 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 :)
