Net beans is an IDE that is suitable for the beginner as it does a lot of things for the user. Eclipse is more for experienced programmers.

For beginning I advice you Eclipse, it's very user friendly IDE and it's easy to install other plugin. You have a large community of developer. Beside in business lot of people work with it ;-) We can add that other IDE are based on the same concept of Eclipse as Android Studio, Spring IDE, so you will have more facility to use this other IDE when you will progress in development.

eclipse is good but the open nature and quantity tools and plugins can be overwhelming because depending on the version you may have to install them yourself, if you plan not to use tools this will do. netbeans has most everything pre-installed and at had no configuration is needed however the many tools and options once again can be daunting. personally I was educated on netbeans (college computers) and learnt on eclipse. may I suggest something radical? notepad++? no frills no tools no intellisense crap, it'll focus you on the code you write and give you that extra bit of flour when writing code later. I used to do it on paper then type it into my ide see if it ran off it didn't I fixed it on paper and ran it again till I learnt how I screwed up.

honestly as much as I've read most people suggest net beans for starters cuz eclipse has too many options that can end up overwhelming you.....but honestly I started from eclipse when I started learning java ............it didn't really have that big an effect so go with eclipse or netbeans it doesn't matter when it comes to "where I should start" but in the end once you know a bit about java u WILL end up with eclipse so why not just start with eclipse
