back into the swing (no pun intended)

I received a Java 2 Certification from Sun a couple years ago. Because
of personal tragedy, I was unable to continue in my career and apply my
knowledge more thoroughly.

I would like to get back into Java so I can refresh myself on theory
but also get practicing it hands-on right away.

Any good books or resources that might help me with this? I know the
concepts will come back. I just need to review them. But then that
does no good if I cannot find a way to apply them.

Thanks,
bjanko
