(Not sure why you'd want to add a Java file to each and every project. I
don't know of a way to do that, but I don't know everything.)
For learning Java I recommend the following resources:
1) A "method"--a fun learning book like Head First Java.
2) A "grammar" --a book containing a more formal description of the
language than the method will provide like Bruce Eckel's Thinking in
Java; you'll use this book to look stuff up; or, you can just use Google.
3) A good forum --Java Ranch is probably the very best and it's a
"kinder-gentler" place; also good are stackOverflow and jguru.
4) A development environment --you can't do better than Eclipse;
NetBeans is good too, but if you decide to write Java professionally,
it's Eclipse all the way almost no matter where you work.
4bis) Don't forget to use Eclipse forums--a great place for help with
Eclipse, but it's not so much the place to ask purely Java questions.
5) Good tutorials --for advanced, practical things that go with #4:
these rather go with the development environment since they relate it
and any frameworks you use; you can't beat http://www.vogella.de

That would essentially be a user library. I don't believe you can
automatically include it in every project, but just put it in some
central location and import it when you start a new project.
