There are many books that are essential for your bookshelf if you're a Java developer. But if I had space for just five books, which ones would I recommend? This question came into my head when I read this post about book recommendations. Here I propose 5 essential books
-
Templated User Controls in ASP.NET
-
How to create a Visual WebGui Silverlight application
-
You Speak: What SHOULD a Software Engineer’s Resume Look Like?
-
Will there be a free edition of Adobe Catalyst?
-
Using HoverMenuExtender with ASP.NET ListView to Update, Delete and Insert Records
-
Select All CheckBoxes in a Table Column With and Without jQuery Plugin Demo

I don't by into the author's list. Everyone's reference needs are different. Here's 5 Java-related books I've been using as references lately:
Java 1.5 Tiger - A Developers Notebook (O'Reilly)
Java 2D graphics (O'Reilly)
Java Swing (O'Reilly)
Digital Image Processing - An Algorithmic Introduction Using Java (Springer)
Groovy in Action (Manning)

1. Effective Java
2. Java Programming Language - Arnold, Gosling, Holmes
3. Pojos In action - Richardson
4. Some variety of Spring book - Apress Spring, Spring in Action
5. Code Complete - not a java book, but good for any developer

Actually replace the Spring book with
Head First Design Patterns - its good because it covers design patterns in java
