    Of course they are going to make errors, learning is an iterative process. Objects and inheritance for example are fairly simple concepts once you understand them, but they don't make much sense without an understanding of primitives vs reference variables, methods, variable scope, memory allocation, etc. You can introduce them early on, but they wont mean much until later.

    Consider that many people who want to learn to write plugins are not coming from another language, but learning their first one. They may not have the motivation to learn Java, but they do have the motivation to learn how to write plugins.

    Starting out with Bukkit allows newbies to relate code to familiar things like players, blocks, locations, etc. Even if they don't entirely understand what's going on, I think their learning is accelerated because of the familiar context.
