Which are the "must own" Java books?

I'm familiar with all the must own books for C++ developers, the Meyers, the
Sutters, the Alexandrescus, etc. But what are the "must own" books for Java?

That's a rather open-ended question and depends on multiple factors. Not the
least of which is your skill level and what you want to *write* in Java.

Joshua Bloch, /Effective Java/.

Sun's online tutorial.

The Java Language Specification (JLS), also available from Sun online.

I quite like "Core Java", by Horstmann and Cornell. (Anyone know if
there's to be a 6.0 update?)
