You'll want the Java SDK from Blackdown. http://www.blackdown.org. The Sun JDK doesn't really work, probably because its compiled with gcc3.2, which Knoppix uses 2.95.

Get Netbeans from http://www.netbeans.org. Its a great IDE, with a tonne of features, but sadly it needs a good machine (> 1Ghz, 256MB ram) to run.
