There are many free, open source Java technologies.
The following are the technologies that I found to be the most valuable...
  • NetBeans IDE: Free, open source, Integrated Development Environment for the development of Java Rich Client Desktop and Web applications.
    www.netbeans.org
  • NetBeans Platform: Rapid Application Development using the free, open source NetBeans Rich Client Platform. Applications that include the same features, module support and advanced windowing system found in the NetBeans IDE. www.netbeans.org/products/platform
