How would some multimedia tutorials on WAS administration, ans WSAD
development help you out? Did I mention they were free?
Check these out. And tell your friends!

For learning Servlet and JSP development, the best, absolute best book
to get his Head First Servlet and JSP. If you watch my tutorials, doing
the samples in this book using WSAD / IRAD will be easy.
Head First Servlet and JSP:

You might also want Head First Java and Head First EJB. They really are
great books.

Best tool ? Ask 10 people and get 11 different answers !
My answer would be Eclipse.
Best resource ? Depends a bit on your current programming
experience with Java and other languages !
Tell us that and we may come up with some book
recommendations.

The command line. Seriously.
IDEs, especially early on, mask some important understandings and will
slow you down with bells and whistles.

Best tool ? Ask 10 people and get 11 different answers !
My answer would be Eclipse.
Well I'm going to give several more, different answers so you might even
get more than the 11:
1). BlueJ (http://www.bluej.org). It's an IDE designed for teaching Java
by focusing on the OO aspects.
2). A general purpose programmer's text editor and the JDK. Any editor
that does syntax highlighting and auto-indentation for Java is
sufficient. There are dozens (JEdit, J, TextPad, UltraEdit, or even Emacs
or vi if you already know how to use them).
3). If you feel you must use one of the mainstream IDEs, go with
NetBeans. There is now also a NetBeans BlueJ edition to ease the
transition if you start with BlueJ first.
Personally, I find Eclipse unintuitive and frustrating and wouldn't
recommend it to beginners.
And, since the question was "what is the best tool" rather than "what is
the best for beginners", I'd be wrong not to mention my personal choice:
IntelliJ IDEA.

The answer depends almost entirely on your programming background. IsCribbsStyle said:
Java your first programming language? If not, which language(s) have
you used and which tool(s) did you use to write them.
The answer to this one depends on the answer to your first question
and also on how you like to study. For example, I have always depended
on a paper text book beside me to read while I worked on the computer.
I have, fairly recently, added a second monitor and I'm now accustomed
to having an on-line tutorial on the second monitor as a substitute
for a printed version. Other people find attending classes is the
"best" way to learn.

Your brain.
GIYF. So is Sun. I almost always start at
http://java.sun.com
and explore from there.
The API docs are awesome, and so are Sun's tutorials. Books like _Thinking in
Java_ by Bruce Eckel (available for free online), _Java in 21 Days_ (I don't
recall author or publisher: GIYF and so is Amazon or Bookpool), Joshua Bloch's
_Effective Java_, are also helpful.
JavaPro magazine (Fawcett Publications) and their online version are great
resources.
IBM has a good resource at DeveloperWorks,
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java.
Reading through this newsgroup and comp.lang.java.help are also beneficial.

Hi Cribbs,
I am bashing through the "Agile Java" book, using the Netbeans 5.5 IDE.
I am a long-time Python
hacker (C, C++ too), and I must say the combination of AJ and Netbeans
impresses me.
You might need references like the "Java Developer's Almanac" or "Java
in a Nutshell" to back up "Agile Java". However, the "cntl-space" help
in Netbeans is so extensive, with the IDE assistance to "cover" a lot
of the syntax gotchas -- it all helps you learn faster and learn
better, IMHO.
It was pretty easy, too, to get a recent Glassfish (Sun JEE 5
application server) build to talk to Netbeans, and to deploy Web apps
such as the IBatis "JPetStore".
All in all, you can't go wrong. I have a subscription to and tinkered
a fair amount with Eclipse (MyEclipseIDE.com), but Netbeans doesn't get
in the way as much with "too many" layers of panels, modes and menus.
I hope this helps.
----mark
"java is the New Cobol" -- hoping Python & Jython get fully
supported in Netbeans !

FWIW the Zeus for Windows IDE has support for Java:
http://www.zeusedit.com/features.html
Note: Zeus is shareware (45 day trial).
It has features like class browsing, syntax highlighting,
smart indent, code folding, project/workspace management,
integrated version control etc etc.
You can also integrate the Java SDK help files directly
into the editor, which provides context sensitive access
the SDK information.
