I'm trying to learn Java, and I was wondering if anyone here knew of a good tutorial. I'm using Eclipse 4.4 for Windows.

The only program tutorial that I know of online is Code Academy. I'm sure there are others, but this is the one I have used for HTML, and I know they offer Java.

1) Eclipse is not Java, Eclipse is merely a tool for programming in Java more efficiently
2) CodeAcademy doesn't currently have Java yet but apparently this is cool

I know that Eclipse is not Java, but a tutorial specifically aimed at Eclipse would be nice, because then I would be able to learn specifics for using Eclipse as well as learning general Java. But maybe I'm wrong; maybe there's nothing to learn about Eclipse any Java tutorial will teach me everything I need to know. I wouldn't know.

I'll check out the CodingBat thing, though.

EDIT: Looks like CodingBat could help; it seems to skip over certain basic stuff (for example, the first exercise (I think it's the first exercise), which is about string concatenation, expects you to already know about the "return" statement and ending lines with semicolons), but I think it'll work for me, as I already have some basic programming experience from Python.

Eclipse is an IDE designed to make programming in Java easier/more efficient; if you need a "tutorial" on it a quick Google for an FAQ or using its Help should suffice

I tried Googling.

Eclipse has a built-in tutorial, though. For a Hello World program, but nothing else.

I suppose I do just want a Java tutorial. Thanks for helping me realize that; finding a tutorial should be easy now.
