I've found Java in a Nutshell to be good.  Other than that reading the javadoc
on the packages you're using is the best way to learn a package.  Note this
also means that you should comment your own code as well so someone else can
figure it out.

XEmacs with JDE works good for me.  I can use the same environment at work
under NT too without any problems.
