Tell me the good stuff: recommend me some IDEs, other tools, etc. I have nearly 0 knowledge of Java, but I can teach my self everything I need to know about it like I did for VB/C++/reverse engineering/miscellaneous BS. I can do the rest on my own. Thanks.
I myself do not use Java. However Sun Microsystems seems to have some very nice IDE's. NetBeans was nice when I tried it.
If you want to make a Java bot, you should talk to iago. He has already made one, and I bet he could help you out a lot.
Depends on what OS your working on.
On my Windows box I use JCreator (http://www.jcreator.com/)
On my linux box I use Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/)
Also Notepad2 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html) is a easy tool for windows, it has syntax highlighting so it's handy for small one file projects.
Also you may want to bookmark the Java 2 Platform SE (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html) information. It's an invaluble referance.

I use a combination of Notepad2 and Eclipse on Windows, though for a large project (IE: a bot), Eclipse is definately the better choice. iago's JavaOp (http://www.javaop.com) is open-source, which is a good place to start.
Yeah, I strongly recommend eclipse [www.eclipse.org].
And I have all the login/cdkey/version check stuff implemented reasonably well, feel free to poke through my source (http://www.javaop.com/javaop2/src). My CheckRevision implementation is very close to the speed of Skywing's. The bot isn't set up in an ideal way, but the "bnetlogin" plugin should be useful to you.
I also recommend Eclipse, and be sure to get the Eclipse Visual Editor as well!
And in addition... here are some useful Sun sites
5.0 Platform API (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api).
Sun's trail of tutorials (http://java.sun.com/learning/tutorial).
Socket programming (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/index.html).
I used to use Eclipse (IDE + compiler), and I know iago does. Currently, I'm using TextPad + J2SDK, because that's what I use during class. TextPad isn't quite an 'IDE', but it's decent.

You'll also find some useful code pieces on x86's forum (http://www.x86labs.org:81/forum/index.php/board,74.0.html). I tend to post little libraries there as I discover them. I recommend the assynchronous sockets one, if nothing else, it makes a HUGE difference.
Hmm, thanks everyone I think I'll take a look at Eclipse tonight and play around with it a bit. This is exciting, haha
Yeah, when I messed around with Java I used notepad and SDK. But thats more trouble than an IDE would be. I'd go with Eclipse.
