You need latest version of Acrobat Reader to be able to read it, because the content is digitally signed. if you have developed a moderate idea on Java then this is the one to play with the settings and minor changes.
4. Data Structures and Algorithms with Object-Oriented Design Patterns in Java
This book is about the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms–the basic elements from which large and complex software artifacts are built. To develop a solid understanding of a data structure requires three things: First, you must learn how the information is arranged in the memory of the computer. Second, you must become familiar with the algorithms for manipulating the information contained in the data structure. And third, you must understand the performance characteristics of the data structure so that when called upon to select a suitable data structure for a particular application, you are able to make an appropriate decision.
5. The J2EE Architect’s Handbook
It is often called the bible of J2EE. This book is written for technical architects and senior developers tasked with designing and leading the development of J2EE java applications. This book will guide the architect through the entire process of delivering a project from analysis through application deployment providing numerous tips, tricks, and “best practices” along the way.
6. Thinking in Java (3rd Edition)
This time its Bruce Eckel and if you know anything about Java books then you won’t question this man. One of the most popular books of all time and a receiver of many awards. A must have for Java lovers.

The name is self explaining and this is another Eckel’s book I have admired. You can download and see why exactly.
8. Java Testing and Design
With Java Testing and Design, you will be prepared for a laundry list of new APIs, protocols, and tools being packed into the next generation of J2EE, .NET, and open-source systems. While these new software libraries, tools, and techniques are a big move forward for all of us, they push us to learn even more technology to turn out complex, highly functional, and interoperable software applications.
Author Frank Cohen shares proven best practices based on his extensive experience at leading enterprises (General Motors, BEA, AMP, 2Wire, Elsevier, U.S. Navy, Sun) and delivers an immediately useful set of open-source tools, techniques, and code that will automate the testing of your Web-enabled applications.
9. Java Native Interface: Programmer’s Guide and Specification
The Java Native Interface (JNI) enables the integration of code written in the Java programming language with code written in other languages such as C and C++. It allows programmers to take full advantage of the Java platform without having to abandon their investment in legacy code.
This book is the definitive resource and a comprehensive guide to working with the JNI. Entirely up-to-date, the book offers a tutorial, a detailed description of JNI features and programming techniques, JNI design justifications, and the official specification for all JNI types and functions.
You will find coverage of important topics such as:
* Writing native methods
* Passing data types between the Java language and native programming languages
* Embedding a Java virtual machine implementation in native applications
* Leveraging legacy native libraries
* Improving the efficiency and reliability of your code
An entire chapter is devoted to avoiding common traps and pitfalls. The book uses numerous examples to illustrate programming techniques that have proven to be effective.
