How about Core Java by Cay S. Horstmann and Gary Cornell? There are two different volumes, Core Java Volume I - Fundamentals, and Core Java Volume II - Advanced Features.

I''ve never read the first volume, but Volume II has been a pretty decent reference for me.

I learnt from that book - it''s not got as much on data structures as the Core book, but its got alot of good sections on Swing in it. Depends how solid you feel on your data structures (although, imho, you''ll need more help understanding swing than arraylists, hashmaps etc.).
You may be interested in the online Java tutorial by Sun (token link). Not the same as a dead tree, but maybe it''ll give you a place to start. All of Sun''s online docs (token link) are pretty good for reference.
