    I picked up Java from C++ myself, although a good few years ago now. I know its not a tutorial, but the book that made it easy for me was Java In A Nutshell, by O'Reilly. Their Nutshell books are usually good, and this was an excellent introduction to Java, making the assumption that you know the basics of a structured programming language (so they don't have to laboriously explain what an 'if' statement does).

    I'd recommend Sun's own Java tutorial. It's free and on the web and it covers all the important basics and is reasonably well done - I certainly learnt Java from it rather than my awful lecturer. It doesn't assume basics, but you can skim over those...

    There are specific books for migrating from C++ to Java but I'd imagine you're not a major C++ programmer, so that tutorial should do you fine.

    I think I learnt from Peter Nortons book (was actually an ebook, I managed to get my hands on) and it was for linux programming in java (though that dont matter java's platform independent), found it good. Sun's tutorial is also pretty good, if you have a good understanding of OO, know the difference between statics and non-statics in an OO concept, then you should be up and running with Java in a couple of days.
