At present I am using eclipse for JAVA project. I always wanted to use VIM for my project. Is there any good resource or tutorial that can help me?

Love it or hate it, Vim still reigns as one of the most beloved editors to this day and has the ultimate scoreboard taunt: Is the text editor you use entering its fourth decade? In technology, nothing sticks around for long. Vim has been a useful tool for a literal human generation.
Because it comes from this bygone era of software development—when programmers had to develop complicated solutions for computers with limited power and flexibility—Vim is hard. That something as seemingly simple as editing text can be made so complicated is anathema to the way we think about technology today.
Not a problem. In Normal Mode , you can also press ZZ or ZQ to quit Vim. Where ZZ is the same as :x and ZQ is the same as :q! . Here, ZZ and ZQ are considered commands of Normal Mode while :x and :q! are Ex commands.
Vim is flexible and extensible Vim is extremely flexible and powerful. You can start simple and use it to edit configuration files quickly. You can also write programs in your favorite programming language, with features like code completion, syntax highlighting, and syntax checking, similar to popular IDE's.
I was a vim diehard for years (and still am). However I finally succumbed to the lure of Eclipse, and I wouldn't look back (I've had to make a sideways move to Intellij, but that's another story).
Having said that, I run Eclipse with this Vim plugin (note: others available), and that works very well. I keep the keyboard-based power of Vi/Vim, and get the Java-aware capabilities of Eclipse. I would strongly recommend this approach. Despite Vim's multitude of plugins, nothing comes close to the language-aware refactoring and coding capabilities of the modern IDE.
Update: 20/01/2015. This plugin has moved to http://www.viplugin.com
