Books: I would recommend Peter van der Linden's "Just Java", and / or
(forget the author) "Core Java", as these are excellent tutorials with good
code. (1) The O'Reilly book "Java Swing" is a very good introduction to
the GUI libraries, but for what LDraw will need, the other two books should
do just fine.
Dev Tools: I personally use Sun's JDK for anything serious. Go with
version 1.2. For debugging, right now I'm using (and appreciating) Symantec
Visual Cafe, but I understand that IBM's Visual Age for Java is much
better. Avoid MS in this case; they simply have no clue.
Cheers,

1. Plus, my GNU Pilot SDK FAQ is on the "Just Java" CD. :-,
