Free Development Environments

Most environments for java are written in Java themselves, which means they are cross-plattform.

Eclipse 
An IDE originally developed by IBM. It was made open source and now has many plugins (for GUI and even for other languages)
BlueJ 
A very simple IDE (some might even say it's ugly and not intuitive), but has abilities to organize a project in UML (which is kind of useful in object oriented programming).
NetBeans 
A Java IDE with plugin support.
Gel 
A freeware Java IDE.
