You probably already know that O'Reilly has the best books. I was going to recommend their Learning Java, but for a CS major who already knows C++, this isn't enough. They've got a lot of Java titles, but I want to point an experienced programmer like you at their Java in a Nutshell. Check out their page or Amazon for editorial and buyer reviews.
You might also add their Java Cookbook. It's not for learning the language, but I always find having a lot of examples of good working code to be very helpful.
By they way, you'll also find their new HeadFirst series. I don't recommend that. I bought their Object-Oriented Analysis & Design in this series and was very disappointed. It seemed like they mostly want to sell paper! It's way too cutesy. They could have done a better job in one-third the pages.
Oh, and I disagree with an earlier respondent. Forget Java for Dummies. You're WAY beyond that level of book.

If you know C++ java will be a breeze. This is the answer I will use to get to level 3 so I am going to give you my best advice.
If you want to learn anything, go to the guys that wrote the technology.

the java book name is Programming in java. pentagon academy(Education wing of pentagon global solutins limited). It is very easy to learn java by using this book. no book will cover all the concept about the particular language. so you need to study more than one book.
you may also study .net, xml, uml, jsp...
