What are you planning on doing? Both platforms have advantages. Personally I do a lot of AJAX and web front end stuff which is what Ruby on Rails was built for.

Java can be quicker than RoR in execution but app design and roll-out tends to be a lot faster with Ruby on Rails. Obviously you need to doa bit of reading on the subject. Id sugegst the rather excellent RoR screencasts as a starting point for RoR.

Hey dude. I strongly recommend Ruby for a newbie because it has a smaller learning curve and is easyer to understand.
Although, java is a much better langauge if you understand it well.
I think you should start with ruby and learn all the basics then move on to java because it will make it a bit easyer.
Unless you devote a lot of time to learning java then it will be harder than learning ruby.
