Hi John,
To get general knowledge about different Java technologies
I would advise you to read the book "Java Programming on Linux"
by Nathan Meyers. It was published very recently.
It has good overview of all Java technologies on Linux (almost
all Java packages are ported to Linux now) with instructions for
their installation. To get an idea about the book just look at
the URL: http://www.javalinux.net/
