if you are an experienced C++ programmer who want to pick up EVERY aspect of Java very quickly, this is perfect book that you can go over in 10 days. Some of the chapters are really good and easy to read. But if you expect to learn all decent tricks(I don't think you can expect this from any SINGLE BOOK), buy "Core Java" or "Java examples in a Nutshell" with "Maximum Java".
Comprehensive and up-to-date, but beware of errors

"Industrial Strengh Java" is a comprehensive, up-to-date book which details the creation of Java application frameworks and applets, and does so from the analysis phase to the coding phase. I consider this a strong point that sets it apart from many other Java books. It is geared toward intermediate Java developers, although those with an object-oriented background can understand the principles. However, people unfamiliar with Java syntax will have to decipher the code examples in some chapters because there are numerous errors. These include mislabeled section headers and whole lines of missing text. Also, the CD does not include all source code. I spoke with the author about this and he replied that he is setting up a web site to give access to the source. However he did not provide a URL or a time frame for completion
