this is primaryly a choice of taste. Debian is a commonly used Distri, 
but nowadays many switch to Distris like Ubuntu, which is similiar to 
Debian but has a quicker update cycle. For Beginners often SuSE comes in 
handy. I have heard that the actual version is quite clean.

in understand jbuilder and jcreator as IDE (integrated development 
enviroments) and not as compiles (although they seem to come with an 
integrated compiler). everything that works is acceptable.

if you are in a trying out phase you might want to have an look a 
Eclipse (www.eclipse.org).

all manual according asterisk-java will not refer to any special 
compiler or OS because it doesn't has to. you should be able to use it 
with every combination you like, without running into troubles or 
differences.

if you are happy with it, don't change it :) personally i can't think of 
any great advantage of another combination. but i really can't judge 
about Jcreator, because i don't know it ;)
