Hi Rich,
My standard short list is:
David Geary's Graphic Java, Volume 1 and 2.

These are getting a bit dated, but have a world of information. I still
recommend Volume 1 ( AWT ) because Swing still depends on AWT underpinnings.
Secondly, John Zukowski's "Definitive Guide to Java Swing, 3rd Edition".
http://www.bookpool.com/sm/1590594479
This book was released around the J12005 time frame and includes JDK 1.5.
It covers many areas other books don't and is mature at the 3rd edition.
Disclaimer, I'm good friends with John and am mentioned in the book.
The Java Tutorial, available for online download,
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
is a good *basic* place to start and good for reference, but will leave you
stranded on real world projects. That's not running it down - I still refer
to it quite often - just understand what is useful, and when.
HTH,
Joe Sam
