    System.out.println("JJJJJJJJJJJJ DDDDDDDDD");

    Seriously though, which part of this are you having trouble with? Take a look at the String API for some useful functions.

    Well, how would you do this by hand, with a piece of paper and a pencil? How do you know where to draw the letters in the first place? Pretend you have a really dumb friend who has no idea how to do this. Write instructions out for him (remember how dumb he is, so keep your instructions short and simple) that he could follow to accomplish the task. When you have that finished, you'll have an algorithm that should be pretty easy to translate into code.
