There's a huge difference between writing server and desktop apps in Java and further differences when you get to particular needs and libraries. In my experience this makes it hard to find the right Java book, you end up with at least 2-3 plus a bunch of online docs. Sun's online Swing tutorials are very good if you're interested in Swing programming. Similarly there are many other tutorials of high quality on Sun's Java resource pages. http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss.html is also a very good resource and probably will be your favorite because it goes pretty deep. The Sun certification exams and study guides are good. As far as language features: Threads, Collections, Generics, and singleton objects are really important and you should look at them so you don't reinvent the wheel.
