Yes, another Java book. And this time it is specifically about developing applications on Java to run on Linux.

What, Java is supposedly write once - run many so that it will work on just about any platform.

OK, when you are developing something it often turns out that you do something specific that makes it rather tied to a particular platform. And if you are starting out on the development of a business application today, you’re likely to at least think about doing it on Linux. So this book concentrates on combining Linux with Java. That way it can talk about the wide range of libraries, tools, GUIs, and other developmental assistance that really begins to tie the operating system together with the programming language.

Probably some of the purists out there will complain, but this is a good place to start thinking about the application you need to write.
