Hey there, I need to learn Java and I need to know what development software I should download. I have VS6 (with J++) but I also need to look at the non-MS Java stuff. It is my understanding that the stuff from Sun is free (is that correct? as I said I am new to Java so I am not up on that whole scene).
The topics I need to learn are:
Servlets and JDBC
Java Graphics
AWT Event Handling
Applets
JFC (Swing)
Java Network Programming
Java Beans

If someone can point me in the right direction on how to get started with this stuff I would be eternally grateful.
