You best bet is to use the tutorials at Netbeans. Can access through the
Netbeans GUI. For a Java Book?

Check these out. They are not books.
  You can try Sun's "The Really Big Index".
  http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/reallybigindex.html

  The "Java Language Specification, Third Edition" for reference.
  http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/j3TOC.html

  "JavaTM 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 Overview for reference.
  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs//guide/

  JDK 5.0 Documentation for reference.
  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs

  "Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 API Specification" for reference.
  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/

  And along with all of that "The Java Developers Almanac 1.4" for
examples outside the tutorials.
