that it doesn't need additional libraries? Where can I find better examples then Sun's website to learn Java?

I found O'Reilly's _Learning Java_ to be a pretty good place to start. Perversely, the Sun Tutorial is better as a bank of examples for those who already know Java than it is as a tutorial for those who are just starting.

With the O'Reilly book, Sun's tutorial for examples, and Sun's (or a local copy of) Java reference, you can get most anything done.

For libraries, that's just experience. Always check out whether a lib is part of the standard distribution, and if it's not, then how hard is it going to be for the user to get at it. You'll mess this up a few times before you learn all the nooks and crannies of the language and it's various versions and libraries. No worries, it's all learnin'.
