I'm taking a course which is introducing me to GoF patterns (via the GoF Design Patterns book). I'm finding that (a) the fact that everything is explained in C++ adds a little cognitive overhead in trying to grasp the (already abstract) patterns, and (b) the examples in the book are a little limited.
Does anyone know of a *good* resource (book, ideally, but web resource would be ok too) that can provide me an opportunity to work through some Java-based GoF pattern examples? It would be nice if it used standard UML, as well, but I don't want to be *too* picky...

Thinking In Patterns is free here: http://64.78.49.204/ I thought it added very little to the GoF by way of understanding but does have all the patterns in Java. And it's free.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

You can also download The Design Patterns Java Companions by James W. Cooper. It's free.

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

Thanks Stan, Joyce and Ilja for the pointers. Seems like this should get me started, so I'll get to work on it.
I appreciate your help.
