Since java 1.6 has come out, and 1.7 is due to come out soon, java 1.4 is
quite ancient actually. I point this out because in 1.5, generics were
introduced as well as some significant changes to the swing packages.
It can be frustrating, sometimes, to jump versions so just be aware of this.
I believe eclipse uses a 1.5 backend, but it can definitely interoperate
with 1.6 for sure.
Take care,
Sina

Hi Jeff,
As you may have found by now, my new site http://NonvisualDevelopment.org
has a Documentation and Training page with many collections of text
tutorials and links to other sites for learning programming languages.
There are collections for Java and Eclipse (search for both words) among
others. It is true that some of the Java tutorials are old, but there are
so many that it is worth examining the collection. There are plenty for
Java 1.4 which, I think, is still the default version used by Eclipse.
