Can anyone point me to a decent startup tutorial for Java SDK? I'm familiar with C-based languages and JavaScript, but not really Java itself. I'd like to make a stand alone app from my IV Calc (http://pokedex.dtdns.net/iv_calc.php). It is in JavaScript AJAX, and rather than making it a self-contained HTML, I'd like to do it as a desktop app. I have recently found a need for movesets, stats, breeding, etc. that run from desktop without internet access.

Thanks, that helps, but I've looked through that one. As well as the 'learning the language' one from there. What I'd like is more of a hand-holding walkthrough. I could probably handle the extras, buttons, graphics and stuff, but I'd like to see more of a starter explanation of data structure, class definition and the basics of this model. Maybe I'm just being lazy and I should read everything and learn the hard way. Thanks again!
