That's not very nice. If he is new to Java programming, the language specification is NOT the place to start. He should start with the Sun (now Oracle) Tutorials, or a good primer on the topic, NOT with the language specification.
I usually recommend both: 1) http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html and 2) http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/ In fact, if the reader is going to go the free route, it is particularly important to use both. This is because the book, excellent though it is, does not cover important, nifty new features such as 1) the new concurrency classes and 2) Collections using Generics. For that, you need the tutorials. But the tutorials are not as complete. So use both. Or go out and by "Head First Java", which is pretty up to date, and has the advantage of using pedagogical techniques based on the latest research in cognitive science. Whichever route he takes, the OP will need to learn a fair amount of Java to make sense of Android. I usually recommend knowing it at least at the level of the first four trails under "Trails Covering the Basics" and also 'Deployment'. Even the Swing Trail would be helpful, since it is not THAT dissimilar to Android's way of doing UI, but the two are different enough that I consider it optional.
