It does look pretty good. I'm sure Eclipse helps as well.
Almost 25MB for the engine-plugin... *lol*
it seems about as fast as blitz, but how easy is java compared to basic
Java, like C# or C++, is a "design by committee" language. That means it tries to cover any problem domain that you could possibly think of. Therefor, it is more complex than BlitzMax.
However, the language itself isn't really -that- huge. It's the libraries that'll kill you. ;-)
There are two really good books about learning Java out there:
1. Head First Java by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates.
2. Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel.
I strongly recommend Head First Java; it uses an almost cartoon/comic book like approach to teaching and it focuses on the really important parts without losing itself in details that would be too much for a beginner.
The most difficult thing for someone coming from Basic will be Java's "it's OO or nothing" attitude. But once you've digested its strictly object-oriented philosophy, the language is not that difficult anymore. If you can live with curly braces, that is. ;-)
According to Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates, you will only need three things to get started:
1. Sun's (or Apple's) JDK
2. A simple text editor (they strongly recommend NOT to use a complex IDE while learning the language)
3. "Head First Java"
