Don't we all? I've been putting off learning more of java for some time. Today I got a wild hair, went and downloaded the jdk and eclipse again and got going. I looked at Jim's tutorial to kind of give me a kick-start; those were very well written. The only thing I noticed is you mix up your keystrokes. for example control+shift sometimes becomes control+alt. I don't want to nit-pick, just figured it might be useful for you to know.
