Hi Dan,
> What does it take for developers to write JAVA against Oracle 7.3.4?
You can get most of the technical bits and pieces from Sun and Oracle. First up, get the Java2 development platform from:
=> http://javasoft.com/j2se/1.3/
This should have all the bits and bobs you'll need for various stuff, including the all important JDBC shenanigans in the java.sql.* files. You'll also need a driver to get JDBC to Oracle7 working, and you'll probably want a thin one from Oracle Corp, which you can possibly dig up here (look for the latest generation of the classes111.zip file):
=> http://technet.oracle.com//tech/java/info/jdbc_doc.htm
I don't know how much Java you know, but if you haven't got started yet, I'd recommend getting hold of a couple of books, such as:
=> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/learnjava/
=> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jdbc2/
There's lot happening recently with JDBC and Java2, with a lot more functionality being added, more in line with 4GL cursoring techniques rather than 3GL ones, plus servlets have finally found a strong niche for Java, so expect the current avalanche of Java2 books to continue unabated. For online stuff on Java, you can't really do much worse than:
=> http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/infodocs/index.shtml
For ground-breaking Open Source GUI work on Java, and for an example of how to use Java code to connect to Oracle, you might also want to check out a top piece of work, here:

HTH (a bit)! :-)
Rgds,
AndyD
