This page explains different applications of setting up your computer to work with Java programming/environments.
A more difficult to configure type of environment, via which Java programs can be launched on the server (or client for testing) side, is the application server.
There are several types of app servers, but here we'll quickly walk through JBOSS on 64-bit windows.
First- download and unzip the files for the app server
Second - set up the environment variables on your system ie: JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME, using for example this page. If that's difficult to understand, don't worry an additional tutorial is coming on that.
Third - run the run.bat command and point your browser to "localhost:8080".
Another time, you might be trying to build something from Apache (such as POI). In this case, you'd need ANT to automatically get a software package going from the build.xml file it came with. No fear. just head over to the easy ant tutorial. If you are just seeking a tutorial on how to generate
message in a console (running a java program from command..), click here.
Something else I've started playing with is bring .csv files to life in MySQL..
For this exercise, you'll need the following on your webserver:
-php and MySQL(phpMyAdmin helps)

I have needed to run some programs from C++ code over SSH and have been exploring using GCC to do that..see here for more.
