I'd suggest you get acquainted with the Java SDK itself. You can download
JDK 6.0 [url=http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp]here[/url].
Try to compile and run simple programs using the command line tools
such as 'javac' (the compiler) and 'java' (the run time environment).
If you feel comfortable you can move on to, say, 'Eclipse' (a Java IDE)
and possibly a plugin 'WTP' (Web Tools Platform). Inevitably you have
to install 'Tomcat' (a Servlet Container) shortly afterwards.
Just work your way up and don't take too many steps at once. Good luck.
kind regards,
Jos
There is no one answer. There are a lot of web technologies that use Java.
But, presumably, you're going to run a J2EE servlet container like Tomcat or WebLogic.
You should try to learn basic Java first, and then go read an overview of J2EE. Then ask the senior developers where you work which technologies they're planning to use specifically, so you can study those.
Thankyou very much Jos,
can u suggest me where can i get the free PDF books regarding web application development. (jsp, servlets, etc..)
i have a little bit of knowledge in core java, so can i move for some advanced concepts like jsp, servlets.
our company is planing to use NetBeans IDE ,
is Netbeans or Eclipse which one is better and why?
once again Thanx Jos.

I know about this one: http://pdf.coreservlets.com/
but I do recommend the two volume paper version book though.

Well, I guess you have to use NetBeans then; I'm not going to guess,
nor argue which one (Eclipse or NetBeans) is the better one.
kind regards,
Jos

The differences between Java and .NET development aren't that big.
If you know MS Visual Studio well you could try JCreator. It's kind of a Visual Studio look-alike. Otherwise you could have a look at Netbeans. It comes with a "visual editor" similar to what you find in Visual Studio.
Regarding the .NET languages Java is very close to C#. If you've used C# you should have no problems migrating to Java. Both languages have the same functionality although the detail syntax may differ. The classes in the standard libraries may have different names but you'll find roughly the same functionality.
So to go from .NET to Java is not a big leap forwards. It's rather a slight sideways adjustment. This assumes of course that you have a good understanding of OO design which both Java and C# requires.
Good day friend!just send me your mail address i will send you the free pdf books to youfor running web application, you need to run Java Application Platform SDKTo download that , follow this url http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp
if you get your hand on what the other said, look into jMaki.
