Are you planning SCJP 1.4 or SCJP 5.0?

If you are going for SCJP 5.0 then go for SCJP 5 Kathy and Bates.

Everybody here says that that book is the best available.
This is the book for 1.5 but there is also one for the 1.4 exam.

I ordered it yesterday

good luck with the study!

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
