Java: A good introduction to J2EE platform for noobs

I'm not new to programming at all - I've programmed in .net for over a decade. I have dabbled now and then in java, but never at an enterprise level. Now I'd like to learn to use Java EE.

What are some good online resources, or books that I can buy? I'll need a step-by-step on what to download to set up my environment (I already have the Glassfish tools bundle for eclipse, but I'm not sure if this is what I need or where to go with it...).

I think coding a simple website to perform basic crud operations would give me a good start.

To begin with, I'd stay away from anything that says J2EE as it's an outdated uglier version. Look for Java EE 6 or at least Java EE 5.

Apart from that my recommendation would be to download the Java EE version of Netbeans since it has everything you need. In the same site there several starting tutorials and a longer e-commerce tutorial

If you want to start with Servlets and JSPs in Tomcat, just make sure it is selected during the install procedure.
