In my opinion, "UML for Java Programmers" by Robert C. Martin is a good starter.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Hello,
Do the books UML Distilled and UML for Java Programmers contain plenty of exercises and examples?
I have had a look at their contents at amazon but found nothing.
If not, which other books do you recommend that satisfy these requirements?

"UML for Java Programmers" has lots of examples. In fact the second half of the book is filled with two case studies.
