I am sure u must gave gone through the http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
which gives you some of the basics. well.. according to my experience
reading books doesn't really help me directly when i am not having
problems. So what i usually do is, I try do a sample program having
certain targets based on the reading material i have(books or internet
pages). then i refer them while doing the program.. may be later i add
more features to it to learn depths of that topic. Which will
eventually make me read all the important stuff with hands on
experince. Hope this will help you.

Along with the excellent advice others have given you, I suggest looking
into taking a class at your local junior college.  Also, don't bother
learning C++ first if you think it'll help with Java.  They may look
similar, but the practice of programming in one is significantly
different than the other.
