I've been interested on learning how to code in Java lately, specifically Bukkit plugins. I took a beginner coding class using the language VB.Net, so I have some basic coding knowledge.

Basically what I'm wondering is, if you know how to create your own plugins, how did you learn? And how would you suggest someone else learn?

Any help is welcome, as are questions.

Don't go directly into programming a certain type of thing using java.
Learn Java in itself, so you understand Java, and not try to get into the complicated parts of it. Once you learn java by itself, the other parts will be easier to do, because you know how it works.

I had a friend who develops plugins tell me the same thing.

Do you know any good resources that I should use to learn Java?

You don't have to invest money into it. There are plenty of free courses to take on plugin development.

There's a pretty good guide over on the Bukkit Wiki: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial
You'll need to learn a good bit of Java first. Fortunately, that wiki article provides links to several resources from which you can learn.
