I've recently learned core Java and want to develop my skills further with practice of programming. Instead of starting out with my own project, i would like to follow a well documented and organized project which would help me understand the language better.

Can anyone please suggest some open source projects to get involved in ?

I would advise you go through some of the Free / Open Source Software sites that host the projects and start filtering your searches for Java projects with a high number of users / downloads, as they tend to be fairly mature and will allow you to start looking through them.

My main recommendation is Arianne (http://arianne.sourceforge.net/). It's won several awards and is quite professional. There are only two listed developers, and they seem quite friendly. Plus, it's a multi-tier video game engine, so there's plenty of fun you could get out of working on it.

Otherwise, check-out java.net, kenai.com, and sourceforge.net for more possibilities.

If you want an early project with potential, there are plenty, but it can often be the luck of the drawer with those.
