thanks.
i want to be a java programmer, how wil i start and which of d tools will i need?
Download the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from Oracle. Here's a link to the downloads for Java 7, move to Java 8 if you'd like.
Beyond that, look for Java programming tutorials, getting started, etc. If you have specific questions, please ask, but without knowing what you don't know, don't already have, which OS you're using, etc., it's hard to give specific advice.
Hello, and welcome!

Assuming you went to the link I provided and downloaded the correct JDK install package and installed it, how's that going? There are also getting started guides specific to Windows users. Search for and complete one of those, correctly setting the CLASSPATH environment variable and updating your path as required, which seems to cause Windows users a lot of trouble.

Just to add a little to what Greg said earlier, Java 8 has been released (I think Netbeans supports it) as does Eclipse,
but 6/7 is good too. A good book to use (and this is totally personal preference) is "Java How to Program" by
Deitel. It starts from the very beginning and walks you through the basics then onto more advanced features
such as Lists and Vectors. Each chapter has lots of exercises too - so you can test what you learnt in actual
examples you write without any help. You can freely download via PDF a version of it, I believe version 9 is
their latest one.
