how to begin a 2D platformer in Java?

I want to make a 2D, side-scrolling platformer inspired by Minecraft. I'm doing this in Java, but I just need to know where to begin. I figure I should begin with the grid system, but I don't know how to start building that. Any help?

Update:

@TheFoxAndFlea: Nice find. I could use that, but I think that would limit me a little too much. I guess I'll just have to study Minecraft's source code and figure out how they did it. :/
