I have about four years of experience as a Java developer. I'm planning to get myself involved in the world of UML. Can anyone suggest some good books and reference material for UML?

A:
UML Distilled, by Martin Fowler.
I have it here, and it's a very good introduction. Actually, it was a "required reading material" for my university, so can be thought of as a textbook as well.

I would recommend The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, written by the creators of UML, the "Three Amigos" of software engineering (Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh).

A:
Don't read any book because all these guys just talk about UML but not about real life.
I would recommend to manually code and then reverse your code into a class diagram. You can also reverse a sequence diagram from your methods. Don't do more and certainy not read books because it is a waste of time :-)
A:
Check out the UML Resource Page of the OMG. Among other resources, this page has links to the latest UML specifications.
There are plenty of good books available as well:
- The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual - Rumbaugh, Jacobson, and Booch
- The Unified Modeling Language User Guide - Booch, Rumbaugh, and Jacobson
- UML Distilled - Martin Fowler
