All Macs ship with a java runtime on them. You can compile and run java using the normal commands: javac to compile and java to execute.

Press command shift T to make it plain text, then save the file and use whichever extension you want.

I recommend using text wrangler (free), BBEDIT (not free) if you plan on doing any java development. Both are more powerful text editor's then the supplied text edit program.

There's also textamte I like that a lot but it has not see any upgrades in years and I'm not sure if any activity is going on with that. While a capable text editor the cost is such that you may not want to throw your money away at a product that is no longer being developed.
