I'm moving from .Net to java. So i wanted to know any good community blog site like CodeBetter.com, of java developers.
EDIT: i'm looking for something more than just coding examples, like CodeBetter.com or Artima.com, which influence your thinking.

It's all Java 1.4, and it's not a blog site, but exampledepot.com has a lot of good code snippets that usually work in 1.5+, even if there is a better way now.

I would really recommend Effective Java 2nd edition, it covers a lot of best practices: http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Java-2nd-Joshua-Bloch/dp/0321356683/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231398269&sr=1-1
You can also see the authors short presentation on some items in the book here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi_I7oD_uGI
JavaLobby also has a ton of articles on different aspects of Java Technology: http://java.dzone.com/
Editor's daily blog at java.net has daily posts about a lot off stuff that happens in the Java World: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/editors/
I am not sure if any off these perfectly matches your experience with CodeBetter.com, but they should at least keep you informed in the Java world.
Edit: I also recommend Java Specialist that Alan M suggested.

I recently answered a similar question with reference to moving from C++ to Java. It may be less relevant here but you may still find it useful.

Making the link on 'similar question', instead of 'It', might be a better idea. It would make it more obvious. Just a suggestion. :)

Makes sense. Since the link is to the answer I included 'answered a' as well :-)
