I learned the basics of Java with this book (I used the 3rd edition)
http://www.bluej.org/objects-first/I think that this is the best text I have ever learned from (though I did have a series of lectures to go with it). The BlueJ software is free and easy to use. It is worth looking at even if you don't buy the book.
You may also like to consider the Image Processing text written with ImageJ in mind.
http://www.imagingbook.com/Though you may already be familiar with the Image Processing content of the book if you have studied Image Processing before.
Another useful resource for writing ImageJ plugins is
http://www.imagingbook.com/fileadmin/goodies/ijtutorial/tutorial171.pdfIt may be that you would like to dabble with existing plugins so that you learn the bits of Java that are immediately relevent without having to learn the other stuff. You would probably still need to Java in the long run bit this would provide a more "hands on" start and enable you to start writing plugins straight away.
