I wrote a very simple one not too long ago, actually, it was simpler than what your wanting. If you don't know much about programming, then you definitely have some work ahead of you.

As for the tutorials you'll need to read, there's a lot! You will want to read about Strings and String methods so that you can parse through all of the HTML code. Then, you got to worry about the Robot Exclusionary Standard, so you'll need to read about how to access files and all that good stuff. There's the java.net and java.io package you'll need to get familar with so you can create Streams, URls, and connections to the websites.
The java.sun.com site is the best place to look for those tutorials.
There's a lot more too it than that though. I really don't see how you can go into this not knowing much about the language and come out with something like that, but good luck. If you need anything else, let me know.

Here is some resources I looked at while creating mine, although in the end none of them turned out to be helpful..I just designed my own.

That would be much easier, but I don't know of any starter programs like that. I'll search around and see what I can find.

Right now i am going through the JAVA BASICS
