At the Open Universiteit there is a course about Objectgeoriënteerd programmeren in Java 1.

This project contains the original samples from the course material. They are located in the master branch. These contain Eclipse Projects specific files like .project, .classpath and sometime a directory .settings.

The same samples are also available as one Maven Project (containing a Maven module, for each sample). This shows an example of Maven. Which is a good subject to study, when learning Java. They are available under the branch maven.

When learning Java and creating new projects, it is good to see how other do that. One of the first tool one need, is Source Code Management (SCM). It makes the live of an developer a lot easier, even when working on your own. Going back in history, trying out new things, is easy when working with an SCM. Let alone when working with multiple developers together on project(s). And the SCM tool these days to know is git.
