Rogue, what makes Netbeans and/or IntelliJ better than Eclipse? I have't used them, wondering if I should switch...
For one, I wouldn't recommend eclipse as an IDE for a beginner, intermediate, advanced, your grandmother, or your grandmother's grandmother. It is simply an awful IDE.
Something else I should mention:
Need a C/C++ IDE?: Netbeans
Need a Python IDE?: Netbeans
Need a Groovy/Pascal/Scripting IDE?: Netbeans
Need a Webdev IDE (javascript, php, css, html, and MORE?)?: Netbeans
Netbeans has numerous support for a variety of languages, plugins that don't suck (eclipse), and is overall a better IDE.
The only things outside of netbeans that I would recommend would be:
Jetbrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PhpStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, etc) - Very good language-specific support
Sublime Text / Github Atom / vim - If not using an IDE at all
Codeblocks - C++
If you work with many languages, netbeans is a god-send. Did I mention that it has native git, subversion, mercurial, CVS, and maven integration? Thought I forgot something.
Eclipse is an industry standard and often introduced to beginners and it really shouldn't be. Even if you choose not to use Netbeans, I wouldn't ever recommend Eclipse to anyone.

+1. Eclipse is terrible.
That said, I think it has one thing over netbeans- it's project data can be committed to a source repository. Netbeans needs to do this funky export thing which is no good. The fact that this is the only limitation we've encountered is downright infuriating because I've not been able to get IntelliJ to compile to project the same way. (Also, Netbeans supports high-DPI- neither IntelliJ nor Eclipse do, not a big deal to most but they look awful if you use a non-standard DPI, Netbeans looks great though.
Another point is that it has no form designer. Considering Form/Windows designers were commonplace in development tools for Windows 3.1 the fact that a so-called IDE in 2014 doesn't have one is pretty ridiculous.

Personally I don't use those because even with netbeans, they create bloated/unmanageable code. For most languages I prefer to write them myself.
For starting Java, I recommend oracle's tutorial: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/
You'll need an IDE, I recommend either:
Netbeans: http://netbeans.org/ , or
IntelliJ IDEA: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
