    This one might be a bit outdated but when I was programming java at uni we would use an IDE called JCreator, was kinda cool, very easy to use and very free.

    We would use an OpenGL wrapper to power the graphics but I think the Java built in libraries can handle a good bit of graphics power nowadays.

    As I say this was a few years ago, so I don't really know what has changed since then. I would suggest though that you learn C# if you are looking for an easy way to create games, much quicker variable passing, just as easy to use as Java, bit quicker in general and now you can get visual c# express edition which is an awesome IDE. Also with c# you can use OpenGL or DirectX, whichever takes your fancy.
