Hi, I am a newbie to java coding. I want to seriously learn, but don't really know where too start. I have little java knowledge, where could I start learning? Are there any youtube videos to get me started on the path of java coding to the point to where I could eventually help the l2j community?

Well, you can always start at the official Java tutorials, or the Java P/L tutorial, to be precise.

Take note that these documents are programmer-to-programmer knowledge share by nature. So if you are new to Java, but have a general programming/CS background, that will serve you well.

If you find these tutorials lacking, and want a more in-depth overview with design decision commentary, consider reading the JLS and JVM spec

If you want an overview of Java from a more general PoV, consider starting at Java4Kids. I know, the name of the book implies certain things, but it does a really good job at not overloading you with information you may not need anytime soon.
