Noir,

Afaik, J2SE and J2SDK are basically synonymous.  Perhaps someone else can
comment.  J2EE includes enterprise Java APIs (application programming
interfaces) and isn't necessary unless you start getting into server-side
web programming, web services, etc.


For basic Java programming , download J2SE 1.4.2
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html).

Then I'd recommend the online tutorial at:
