java development tools for Linux (Ubuntu)?

[JesseV]

I'm going to college and I will being taking up Computer Science and they teach Programming with Java. And they use Linux. <br />
<br />
I'm trying to get a heads up. I dual booted Ubuntu and now I need Java dev tools. Can someone point me in the right direction?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

I'm sure they'll have development tools that are free downloads. I know one Java IDE that is pretty popular is Eclipse.
You can download it here http//www.eclipse.org/
I would just get it with aptitude though
In Ubuntu
Either search for it with synaptic or do a "aptitude search eclipse" and then a "sudo apt-get install *name of eclipse deb*"
