I just started learning Java a few months ago. I had been using netbeans, but I want to use eclipse now.

The only problem is all sorts of things are different. I want to avoid asking a ton super simple questions here, so I am hoping there is a quick start guide someone can suggest. (would be particularly helpful if it was geared towards former netbeans users, But any good quick start guide would be nice.)

I am not looking for an inside and out tutorial. But just the kind of thing that gets you going quick. Teaches you the most essential keyboard shortcuts, etc. Helps you find the most essential menu items, etc for a programming newbie.

For instance -- the autoformat. I like { to be on a new line instead of on same line as what precedes it.

Also -- it seems the autoformat wraps a lot of expressions to a new line which I don't like.

Where do I find the settings pertaining to autoformat?

Did you look at the Eclipse Help (Help > Help contents) ? Workbench User
guide and Java development user guide - they both have a getting started
section. You should be able to find the answers in there.
