windows Windows

  1. Go to this URL: Java SE Downloads
  2. Click on the Download button next to where it says: JDK 6 Update 7 with NetBeans 6.1
  3. Download this file: JDK 6u7 with NetBeans IDE 6.1 Bundle
  4. Set the Platform option to "Windows" and accept the License Agreement
  5. Double click to launch the installer and follow the steps

mac Mac

  1. Go to this URL: Netbeans IDE 6.1 Download Center
  2. Set the Platform option to "Mac OS X"
  3. Click on the Download button at the bottom of the "Java SE" column
  4. Double click to launch the installer and follow the steps

This will only install the Netbeans IDE because the Java Development Kit comes pre-installed with OS X. However if you need to download Java, you can find it here: Developer Connection

linux Linux

  1. Go to this URL: Java SE Downloads
  2. Click on the Download button next to where it says: JDK 6 Update 7 with NetBeans 6.1
  3. Download this file: JDK 6u7 with NetBeans IDE 6.1 Bundle
  4. Set the Platform option to "Linux" and accept the License Agreement
  5. Depending on what kind of distribution you are running, run the downloaded file. I am assuming if you are running Linux, getting Netbeans and the JDK up and running shouldn't really be an issue...

This will install the Java Development Kit and Netbeans 6.1, so once the installation finishes, you are done.
