I was wondering if there are any books you would recommend for learning J2EE. I have done a lot of OO programming in the past (mainly java, C# and C++), but I'm now entering the world of J2EE with my job:: "struts 2, hibernate, spring, etc.." so many different libraries, plugins and ways to configure eclipse or netbeans... I feel a bit overwhelmed and am looking for some good books. It seems like even compiling a simple "Hello world" is a hard task... Any help would be appreciated.

J2EE: The Big Picture is a decent overview of how everything fits together, but doesn't go into the specifics you mention. I found it to be a decent starting point though.

Have a look at the ServerSide.com. You will find a lot of information about J2EE there and also a free PDF version of Mastering Enterprise JavaBeans. This is a decent book that will help you understand the concepts of J2EE quickly. Manning Publications have some very good titles and I strongly recommend "Spring in Action" and "Java Persistence with Hibernate".
