I'm nearly in the same situation too, except that I learn only because of my interest.
I started with Servlets and JSP, running on Apache Tomcat. I think it's better to download JDK 6.0 Update 2 with the latest version of Tomcat, and start learning those two. You can then go for Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) and RMI.

Thank you so for your replay.
mmm.. I need your help about the dounloads:
1) to download for JDK 6.0:
http://developers.sun.com/downloads/top.jsp
but what option?
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (11.Dec.06)
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 (11.Dec.06)
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 and NetBeans IDE 5.5 Final Release
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 with Java EE (11.Dec.06)
2) latest version of Tomcat
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi ? do you have a link?
and what about IDE? I'm using with Eclipse for swing..
====================================================
So you think the Servlets and JSP is a good topic to satrt with?
I never program applets and server side, only pure java swing on a client

Wow. If you did programming with Java SE, you should know the difference between the JDK and the JRE.
To download the latest JDK, go to:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
and download the first one. JDK 6.0 Update 2.
Tomcat is not apache's httpd. To download it, go to:
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi
Reading their readme file helps you decide which one to download.
Choosing an IDE is somewhat too easy and too hard. I'm using NetBeans. There are lots of threads here where people discussed different IDEs as answers to a question "Which IDE to choose?". Search the forum and you'll get some useful information.
Java EE technology consists of EJBs, RMI, Servlets, JSP (and related technologies such as Struts and JSF), etc. The servlets and JSP is a good point to start learning Java EE, and also a good point to start programming Java-based server side applications.
