You'll be able to download the JDK and JRE from here.
Aside from that, you don't need anything to my knowledge, though using an IDE like NetBeans or Eclipse can be helpful.

I'm afraid I can't recommend any good Java tutorials though, as I learned it in school for the most part.

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Well, you're right with the JDK. You'll also need a JRE. You can download both of these at  Oracle's site. A good IDE to use for beginning would definitely be BlueJ. I can't offer a place for tutorials other than YouTube because I learned my Java at school.

EDIT: Aww, FinaleTI beat me :(

Well you don't really use the files... You use the IDE to write Java code, and they use those files to compile/run your code.

I personally use Notepad++ (Google it). It's an awesome and super lightweight editor with support for over 70 programming languages. You do have to compile your code from the command line though, so if you don't like that, then I'd stick to something more like BlueJ. If you have a fairly recent computer, you should be able to run Eclipse, which is the most popular Java IDE out there. It's fairly RAM and CPU heavy though. Finally, once you get the basics of Java down, I have a book that you might like. It's called Thinking In Java by Bruce Eckel. It's an awesome book on Java that covers everything from ArrayList and arrays to AWT and Swing (GUI stuff). Ask Steven if you want to borrow it.
