Java may not be present on your system. In this case, install the JDK 5.0 for your platform.
You will need to install http://www.cygwin.com/. For simplicity, just install everything.
OSX comes with most of the tools above. You may have to install wget if you want to use SimDist.
All of the tools should be installed on Linux.
