Which Java version do you think is the best one to learn?
 
Always learn the latest java version (1.4 now), and best to learn via a text editor (emacs, vi, notepad) and use console compilation rather than an IDE - so you learn the language from the core (without spangles) !

I totally agree sedj.

There nothing worse that making a spankingly good GUI with a GUI builder and then trying to understand the code it created! Yuck.

You might want to look at jGrasp as something to program your Java code in whilst you are learning. Aside form providing syntax highlighting it also uses something called CSD (Code Structure Diagrams) which help you visualise and understand your source code. A great learning tool (hell I've been programming for quite a while and I still use it, it is a great tool period). ----------------------------------------
