Setting up the environment (IDE)
I've never developed anything in Java before. I don't think it'll be difficult to learn the language, but to get a flying start I'd like to know...
What programs you need to develop...
1) Standard java desktop applications
2) Java applications for mobile phone's and PDA's
3) Java Applets that run on web-pages
(My computer is a WinXP one ;-)
Please include download links and filenames!

Thanks, what's the reletionship between Java SE, Java EE, Java Me and Netbeans. Do you need all of them or will just Netbeans do?
What's the advantage of using Netbeans?

SE - Standard (Core Java, Swing, JDBC & ETC).
EE - Enterprise (JSP, Servlets, EJB & WebServices).
ME - Micro(Midlet and So-on).
To use SE and part of EE you just need to download Netbeans and JDK. Netbeans comes with tomcat server which is a web container for JSP and Servlet. If you need to develop full enterprise EE such as EJB you may need to download a full J2EE container such as JBoss, WAS, Weblogic and Sun Application Server.
For ME you just need to download an additional plugin on the link that I gave you above.

It's almost an all in one pack everything you need is already there for free. If you use Eclipse which I use you might need to prepare for headaches because you have to install plugins separately.

Also netbeans has lots of tutorials to get you started.
Java
Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
