Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel. Its available in print and online.  see his home page at http://mindview.net/

It should be all you need to get started as a good Java programmer.

Re: good online book/tutorials for learning java

In addition to the fine book Dusty linked to, the tutorial collection from Sun is also worth a look.
I also recomend you start early with looking at the api as well. There you'll find good descriptions of all the classes and methods avaliable in the libs of Java. Its a bit intimidating at first because of its size, but after a while it will be the first place you'll look for information on how to use a class.
tutorial :http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
api: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html

good luck!
