What helped me a lot to hone my Java skills are two books that I highly recommend from O'Reilly Media, Inc. called "Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design" and "Head First Design Patterns". Both books are using Java in there exsamples and are written in a way that isn't boring and you also memorize the learning material easily.
