Yes:

which has some beginner and quick start app notes.

The Java level is 100% pure java, open and standard. Use *any* Java
development tool you like. I use the Sun JDK 1.4.1 and now prefer the
Eclipse IDE. I also use JBuilder, JEdit and RealJ. It doesn't matter, the
output from all of these is a standard java .class file. These tools run on
Linux.
There is a linker and configuration tool, JemBuilder, and a
programmer/debugger, Charade, and these are "proprietary" in the sense that
they know about the JStamp and JStik hardware and can communicate with it
at a low level for programming flash memory, setting breakpoints, etc. The
JTAG downloader interface connects to a PC serial port and (perhaps sadly)
it does require a Windoze DLL. Plans (no definite delivery) are for a USB
version which would be portable across operating systems. For the near
future you do need a Windoze PC or a Windoze emulator running on Linux to
talk to the parallel port (I have seen this in action though I don't use
this Linux/emulator myself, so I know it can be done).
There are both byte code and source level debuggers (the open JSwat
debugger). JSwat is Java itself and will run on Linux. The JemBuilder tool
is also written in Java.

Yes, see above, you still need PC hardware with a parallel port. (sorry,
Mac users).
