basic and minimal java development setup

I am using Ubuntu and I would like to know the basic tools to install so I can begin develop in java.

With 'minimal' I mean the most transparent way without fancy tools and stacks etc. Like for minimal C programming you just write code and run 'gcc file.c -o myapp'.

Thank you

Install the JDK. An IDE is a minimal requirement for development in Java. Not all developers would agree, but IMHO its the most productive way to develop in Java. I suggest IntelliJ CE which is free.

Eclipse IDE. It's probably the most comprehensive Java IDE. I understand that isn't what you're looking for but light, simple ones like JCreator are not free to use. I don't see the sense in developing without an IDE of any kind.

Just download JDK.

Minimal tools are javac for compiling and java for executing JVM. Both are in bin directory.
