Hi,
If you are using mySQL on Linux and going through your requirements, you can
use the following.
For Java - Use JSDK 1.4, wait till the 1.5 stabilizes on usage.
Download Tomcat preferably 4.x version as compatibility of higher versions
might be an issue. This would give you a free application server platform where
you can run jsp and servlets.
As for dreamweaver, that is a commercial product and available only at a
premium but you can get a lot of tools that are free for designing web pages. But
they wont be as professional outfit as Dreamweaver though.
Finally to establish connectivity with mySQL you need the JDBC driver for mySQL.
You can download the same from

Hope these help you out
