>>>> How Do I Write Java Code?
==============================

Just use any text editor.  
Java code has to have an extension of '*.java'

Copy the following code into a text file, rename the file 'HelloWorld.java':

// 'HelloWorld.java' code file
import java.awt.*;

class HellowWorld {
	main(){
		System.out.println("Hello World");
	}
}



This is obviously a simple example, but it will operate successfully when 
you compile and run it.



>>>>>> Extended answer for people with lots of money.
=====================================================

You can purchase a Java Development Environment.

Microsoft has a J++ extension for their Visual Studio.
This is what I used for most of my C++/J++ development.  
I recently switched to JBuilder.

The leading competitor is JBuilder produced by Borland.
This is what I use now.  JBuilder operates dandy under Windows.  
It also has Max & Linux versions.
