Subject: Java for Rubyists

I have been forced by the powers-that-be to learn Java.

Coming from Ruby, I am sure I will be going mad sometime in the near 
future.

To prevent this looming insanity from taking hold, I send a plea t 
fellow Ruby users.
Is there some book out there somewhere that will teach Java without 
making me go
mad from comparing it to Ruby?

[As an added note, I am already well aware of OO concepts, as well as 
knowing C/C++.
Thus, the type of syntax and the concepts are already familiar to me.  
I just need something
that'll get me introduced to the peculiarities of this particular 
language.]


-Thanks
Shalev
