I have seen packages that came with my Linux install for Java programming. How can I use these and learn about them. Is there a way to compile Java into machine langauge? Are there compilers that come with Linux for Java?

1) Start learning the syntax. Pick up a book or read at java.sun.com
2) Yes, gcj which is a part of the gcc family of compilers can make Java code into a native executable.
3) Yes, gcj and the compiler in Sun's Java SDK.

they went and changed the name again back to JDK. about a week ago i went looking for SDK but found out they changed it back. oh and that damn java site gets confusing so please read carefully.

fakie_flip, a couple weeks ago I wrote a little help doc that you might find useful:

JDK from java.sun.com compiles java source code into bytecode. if that is what you are talking about, it has to have the java virtual machine to interpret the code.
