The official Java tutorials from Oracle, while not FRC specific, are pretty good for learning the language and programming in general: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

The tutorial is for Java SE 7. Note that the Squawk JVM for FRC is based on Java 4, and thus certain newer features (such as enums) are unavailable.

For FRC specific stuff, besides the resources mentioned above, the WPILib documentation site on ScreenSteps Live has a lot of good information: Java Getting Started Guide - Main 2013 Site

If you would like to look at complete robot programs, several high profile teams have published there code, such as 111 and 254, as well as my own team, 316.
