A:
Go for Head First Design Patterns as starters. Then you could continue with Applied Java Patterns which will provide less details and explanations but act as a reference.

Good book, but the examples are in C++

Most computer books get obsolete in a a few years. I bought this book 15 years ago and still use it today.

@dpb - Patterns are, for the most part, language agnostic. The implementations may be in C++ but all patterns are in UML.

@SnOrfus: Patterns are indeed language agnostic but the OP specified study in Java. A good example provides the "meat" to the UML "bones", and I believe that the implementation language should not interfere with understanding the pattern. If the OP has no problem understanding C++ then that's off course no issue.

"Effective JAVA" is also a good book. Though it doesn't actually cover Design Patterns in depth.But it covers good practices which should be followed.

Once you've already got the Gang of Four book and/or Head First Desgin Patterns, then PoEAA is probably a good place to go to.
