I have no experience with Java, but I want to learn it. I have been using Flex Builder standalone for a few months now, and am familiar with eclipse now. So since Flex Builder is basically eclipse, can I program Java with the same copy or do I need a new installation of eclipse to program Java? Also if anyone can point me to a tutorial that shows how to setup eclipse to program Java that would be appreciated too. Thanks!
