Hm, define "master." If you mean do some basic things in Java then I'd say a month to get the syntax and core concepts and then another month for GUI (Swing) use. Java is supported on every major platform, no need to change your source code (usually). As far as "installing Java", most people have a Java Runtime Environment installed and if a new version is needed, then it needs to be downloaded. But if you are programming in .NET the same issue applies and the .NET runtime needs to be downloaded and installed.
For Rapid Application Development go with VB.NET 2005. Of course, Java is free, and a Java IDE like Eclipse or NetBeans is free. Visual Studio will run a few hundred dollars depending on the version (being a student helps).
PHP, ASP, and JSP are server scripting languages and are not generally used to write desktop code. The syntax of Java is also used in languages like C#, and in PHP, JavaScript, etc., learning the style is a good thing.
Good luck, and have fun with it!

It is great that you want to do this. You will have a big advantage in your higher education and the working world by being able to program. Basic programming can be learned very quickly (in hours), while becoming a master of a language can take much longer (months or years). Just recently I learned the Python programming language. This language is not only more powerful than the older languages (can do more with less lines of code), but it is also becoming very popular. Best of all it can be downloaded for free (including for the Mac) and there is lots of on-line documentation. The best way to learn is to work through some example programs in a programming book, but it can also be helpful if you have some problems of your own that you would like to solve.

java is not ideal for writing programs as it is reliant on the viewer to have it installed. ideally use php or asp to write in, then you have control over how the page looks and runs.

java=easy and not limited to windows platform.
rough estimates for the basics
1 month for calculations and no gui
2 months with gui
ejb and application server 3 months
