Welcome to AJUG!

I prefer Netbeans and would recommend it to a beginner.  It has a simpler
interface (but you give up some of the more advanced features).  There is
just not a lot of clutter that may overwhelm someone new to it.  IntelliJ is
my second, with eclipse being third.  I have used all 3 for extensive
periods.  I am currently forced to use eclipse at work.

You may have a look at BlueJ while you are learning (http://www.bluej.org).
