And if it hurts, then it's too late to stop it! This is especially true for me,
because my sports usually involve extreme contact: Rugby, Judo, Fencing, Karate and
now I'm learning Kung Fu! (Kung Tao style incase you wanted to know :-)

I think that "Java Development with Ant" by Hatcher and Loughran from Manning is a
