I've been looking for a programming language to help me write tools to do 
stuff.  For example generate 2-D plots from CSV or text files.  C++ can do 
that (and more) but there's a lot more overhead and maintenance that that 
requires.  In the past I've used Tcl/Tk for that kind of task but that seems 
to be dying<sniff>, Excel with Visual Basic can do most of that but not so 
much on the Mac.

I have a book "Core Jave" by Sun but I'm at a loss on how to start Java on my 
Mac.  Is there any help for this noob?
