Does anyone know of a good thing to help go from Greenfoot to Java? I want to make games in "normal" Java, and would like to see if anyone knows of a good way to make the transition.
If you want to program only games I think the JMonkey Engine would be a good start. It's a bit more difficult than greenfoot but you can create realy good games with it.
For other programing I would recommend you to use eclipse (with a WindowBuilder for GUIs) because eclipse is the most used and also best development enviroment and it has numberless addons. At the beginning it's a bit difficult to get to know all these funktions eclipse has but if you work with it for a while you'll get to know the most of them.
I am actually working on jmonkey and i have previously used eclipse. I was more asking if anyone knew a good tutorial/guide for making games in strait java
