I have already looked at Thinking in Java and it is mainly aimed at people who have already programmed before or have some knowledge of programming and know the basics. I have none i need to start from the basics.

You probably won't find a book dedicated to learning Java particularly with JCreator because it isn't that popular of an IDE. The good news is that the IDE is not all that important and Java is the exact same JCreator, Eclilpse, WSAD, or any other IDE.
I liked: Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel, and the O'Reilly book, Learning Java.

Using an IDE to learn a programming language is not generally recommended. Use an ordinary text editor(Notepad or Edit in Windows ; vi,emacs,kedit,gedit etc on *NIX) to write code.
Java 2 : Complete Reference by Schildt is a good book. Like the title says, it is a complete reference. It's a big book and covers everything.

Here is the list of Java books for beginners that helps in learning java language more easily.
1. Java: The Complete Reference, Ninth Edition by Herbert Schildt
http://amzn.to/1nBwc7U
This is a great place to start learning Java. I think the book is good for beginners to start learning Java, as well as great reference for those experienced with Java.
2. Thinking in Java (2nd Edition) by Bruce Eckel
http://amzn.to/RzmDuU
The classic object-oriented introduction for beginners and experts alike, fully updated for Java SE5/6 with many new examples and chapters!
3. Effective Java (2nd Edition) by Joshua Bloch
http://amzn.to/1nvy0Sv
This book has lots of valuable information. I would't suggest it for beginning java programmers. Its great for people with experience. You have to look through the book and find the examples you find helpful. The content is very unique.

Personally, I find Java How to Program, published by Deitel & Deitel to be quite helpful.
