Best Resources for Running Jython

I just got my first Jython (and Python) project, and I was wondering what docs, IDEs, etc. best suited for a java buff like me.

I know there are many questions about how to get started with Python, so I ask for things that may be specific to Jython. Where to begin? If this helps, I only run Linux and Solaris.
