So I need some help when it comes to programming in Java.?

Well, I have NotePad++ and Java jdk1.6.0 and I was wondering what else I need. I don't quite know if I have a compiler or not. So do I have everything that I need or not? Do I need to download anything else and how do I install it on my computer, setting it up so that way I can access and use it without having to jump through about a billion hoops.

    The JDK gives you the compiler. The executable is called javac. I don't know if Notepad++ can be made to run the compiler, but if it can, you may have to tell it where to find that executable.
