What is your favourite Java orientated website? Can be forum, news, podcast or any type of site as long as it is about the Java programming language. All flavours of Java should be considered; SE, EE and ME.

+5  A: 

The serverside - not strictly java though, it's Java EE.

Michael Sharek
Personally I find theserverside to be a bit dated these days compared to InfoQ, dzone, Javaworld, etc.

You make me realize that I don't visit java sites anymore :(

+1 for Theserver side.

Still Sun's for the "Featured content" section: http://java.sun.com/

Some good thing come from these:

Java Specialists used to have great content. Now Heinz may be too busy, but there are less articles, with a less technical content. I still read the newsletters even if I left Java behind some years ago.

A: 

Sun.com (and Java.com) is one I end up at the most ...

Nerdfest
I never go to java.com! What do you like from there.
OscarRyz
It's really just a quick entry point for downloading new versions.

+1  A: 

Java Practices is definitely my favorite. I also like Java Ranch for Java-specific information (check out the Big Moose Saloon)

Bill the Lizard
How could I have forget Java Ranch, of course!!! +1 :)
OscarRyz
I was on there almost every day before SO started. :)

+4  A: 

http://java.dzone.com/ (aka "Javalobby"). Has a neat interface, generally just an aggregator of developer links and articles similar to digg.

Mark Renouf
Yeah I like dzone too. Aggregation is nice because 90% of the articles I don't read but I like to skim the summary to get a fell of whats out there.

+2  A: 

I like InfoQ. Not only Java, but also and some good agile, SOA and Ruby news.

boutta
+1  A: 

http://www.java.net

http://www.javaworld.com/

Both are updated often and have some good articles.

A: 

A bit out there is Bile Blog. Very strong language, and the guy seems to enjoy being controversial but sometimes there is wheat in the chaff

Your internets has belong to us. It's very much up!

One of the very few Java related sites I actually frequent (besides SO) is Dan Dyer's blog, 'New Adventures in Software'.

Largely Java stuff, but by no means limited to it. This isn't an especially active blog though.

Jonik
A: 

Think mine is Java2s.com, although it's not only Java. They have an amazing archieve of snippets, organized in perfection, which serves great when you need to look up things fast.
