Both Java Development Toolkit and NetBeans are essential for this book.

Follow the link below for the Java SDK:

And the one below for NetBeans:

Note that since Oracle has decided not to include JavaFX development in the 7.0 release of NetBeans the 6.9.1 is required when doing the examples contained in the Using JavaFX chapter.

Here is the link for NetBeans 6.9.1:
