I am not very experienced with Fedora, but I have heard people say that it is not one of the most beginner friendly distributions. May I suggest you consider installing Mandriva Linux instead? (http://www.mandriva.com/). It is similar to Fedora in many respects. But Mandriva is very user friendly out of the box and comes with many tools pre-installed which make these things fairly easy.
I assume that you are learning to program in Java? I'm not sure exactly what the packages are called in Fedora or Mandriva (since I switch to Debian a while ago), but you should be looking for something like javacc for the compiler and java-sun-6-jre (or something close to that) for the run-time environment.
Once you've install javacc, you can compile .java files from the command-line with 'javac (path-to-file)', I believe. Then you would run the class files with 'java (name of class)'. So if you have created a ,java file called Example.java:
$ javac Example.java
$ java Example

Hi rutvik, java should be installed in fedora by default. And which desktop are you using? If kde, then simply launch KNetworkmanager and it will list all available wireless connections.
And try this for that pesky NTFS drive
