A1) Sun Java Development Kit, you can find that in the Synaptic Package manager or what ever package manager comes with Fedora
2) Same as above
3) For a beginner I'd recommend "Java How to program (http://www.deitel.com/Books/Java/JavaHowtoProgram7e/tabid/1191/Default.aspx)" by Deitel and Deitel
4) If you have any specific questions we'll all be glad to help
