I hope the later editions of Just Java have improved the one I cut my teeth on in 98, I absolutely hated it for its poor organization and cohesion. For tutorial based material to newbies I'd definitely recommend Head First Java, later to be supplemented with Head First Design Patterns. They are very visual and story based books that makes it fun and a breeze to go through the material. No one book will do it perfectly of course.
