Java: Netbeans; What to download?
 

Just Installed Ubuntu 18.04 - No Windows connection at all (thank goodness)

I wish to explore programming in Java.

I don't know anything about the language so I bought Mastering Netbeans and Java All-in-One for Dummies and have given them an overview at this time. I do want to continue programming with HTTP5, PHP and Javascript.

So, my question is, What do I download? Is GlassFish and Tomcat necessary, whatever they are; this all seems complicated enough without having to learn more stuff?

In Mastering Netbeans they talk about http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javese/downloads and the Java EE bundle and the All bundle which I didn't find. Do I download several different things or one package to install everything I need?

Thanks in advance for help.
