I don't know if you'll really find a tutor here but if you wanna start heading towards game dev I would just start making small games. That's pretty much how it starts. 1: Learn Java 2: Small Game 3: Learn more java 4: Make small game bigger/better 5: repeat 3-4

Bonus: Two ways to draw in Java, that I have used with great success

For software graphics (like flash before v11) you should read this article http://www.gamedev.net/page/resources/_/technical/general-programming/java-games-active-rendering-r2418
The advantage by using non hardware accelerated graphics is that it's easier to use in an applet, if you want your game to be playable from a browser.

If you want hardware accelerated 2D graphics this is a great library: http://slick.cokeandcode.com/
