This would be what you want to download.
You should take a look around the sun site, there's a fair few starter documents on there to get you going - if you are serious about learning java, you may want to look at
this as well - it's not the best book in the world (though better than others) - but it is free to download and should be enough to get you properly started.
Edit :
Also - a good IDE is a life saver when it comes to development - there's a fair few out there, but the 2 front runners tend to be
Eclipse (which I found a real pain in the neck to get up and running but is free) and
Intellij which IMO is a dream to work with - but it does cost money - though you can get a 30 day evaluation key.
Also look at build tools - Ant, Maven - getting a decent tool to build, will save you a lot of effort messing around with classpaths and so on.
