Hi David !

Since you want to use all this technologies, you should probably use 
JDeveloper. It's from Oracle and it has support for creating java database 
driven applications of any kind (application, JSP, EJBs), it has internal 
servers for testing and debugging and it's quite easy to use. It's little 
weak on creating java GUI though (for application or applet), but not many 
developer tools can do that... It runs on windows. linux, I even made it 
run on FreeBSD... If you plan to use struts in future, it also support 
that, and the best it's free, but size of full package is around 250 Mb...
