Phoebe Minias is "involved in an effort to introduce our group of developers to Java...and wonder[s] whether anyone on the list...can recommend any good books / resources..."
"Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckels is an excellent book for this.
BTW - Why do developers need to be shepherded through this? Java is an improvement over C++ in the same way C++ is an improvement over C.
IMHO, a competent C/C++ programmer needs very little training to pick up Java, especially if a good IDE like Netbeans (www.netbeans.org) or Borland's J-Builder is used.
YMMV.
