I'm a noob to Java, can you point me in the right direction?

If you wish to make a Java Game from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

I have never compiled Java program with command line and I don't see the need that I would do it in near future.

There is lot of stuff that is good to know in theory base but becouse there are allready maded tools you don't have to make those manually by yourself.

notepad + compiler is just too error prone and boring. Reading how code is transformed to native instructions in general is lot more educational than making command line compiling couple times.
