Adding installing-and-learning-Eclipse to your obstacle list is just
going to make your life more difficult. If you really want to learn
about _Java_ I suggest keeping it pure and simple: use a simple text
editor* and head over to:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/">http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/</a>
and get stuck into the links below the "Trails Covering the Basics"
heading. After you've learnt Java, then by all means, learn Eclipse :-)
* Text editors is a big subject but if you're just starting out, gedit
or kedit(?) is a good choice, and is usually installed by default. If
you're more experienced then I guess you probably already have a
favourite text editor :-)

Also you could try installing eclipse using Ubuntu's package manager?
Either using Synaptic and searching for the package, or sudo apt-get
install eclipse in the console.<br>
<br>
Although I agree with Andrew, that trying it through a text editor
could be a better starting route with Java. Especially if you just want
to get stuck in and code (if you have no experience with Eclipse).<br>
