Hi folks, i'm looking for a book about Design Patterns written in Java, i would like to read the GoF book but the examples are all C++ and don't know it.

What is the BEST OF THE BEST book out there about patterns?
I've searched the web and Amazon but nothing seems to be what i need...
I just need clear examples, good explanations about how a pattern works, which real problems it solves and so on. (An introduction to OO patterns in general would be a plus)

Is there any equivalent book to the GoF that uses Java?

thanx, best regards to you all.

I find this quite usefull:
Metzger book
Like some of the amazon reviewers, I find the examples from the fireworks factory a bit confusing sometimes, too. But it works quite good as a helper to apply gof patterns in my java.
