Well programs that you write in Java will be platform independent. Java programs will be able to run on all platforms, as long as the person has Java installed.
To develop Java you will obviously need Java itself to use the programs, but you will also need the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) and you can get more things aswell like the Swing Library to create windows GUI Apps.

but java is too slow a language!

Java isn't slow. Java Applets may be slow when they run inside browsers, but actual Java programs are not any slower than programs written in C. It is a very good language and is completely platform independent.
