I believe it's the same for linux ;)

This is an interpreter, not a compiler. This *runs* rather than compiling
the bytecode; so strictly speaking, to program in java you don't need it.
It may be useful to have if you want to run programs quickly, however.

All my Java is Java 1.0, so 1.1.2 sounds like a real high number to me ;))
Depends whether or not you want Swing, etc... 

I believe some people on this list have tried JBuilder, they may be able
to give you some advice with that, but apart from that, the JAva tools
under linux are the same as the Sun tools on any other platform, pretty
much...
