I asked Josh if I could have the pleasure of breaking this news on my li'l blog here, and unbelievably, he actually said "sure."
Lucky me! Here's the news:
Effective Java, Second Edition by Joshua Bloch has gone to press and copies will be available at JavaOne in two weeks.
Hooray! We've been waiting for this for a long time.
Having read it (again, lucky), I'll quickly tell you my opinion (personal opinion only, not an endorsement by my employer, and feel free to disregard it as biased if you like).
You probably all know how valuable the first edition is already. The new edition really takes it a step further. It's vastly improved and has entire new sections on generics, enums, annotations, and other recent Java developments. The concurrency chapter was completely redone to reflect the "java.util.concurrent" new world order. There's a wealth of new information about serialization pitfalls and patterns, and the list goes on.
It is not just the Effective Java you know with a few extra chapters tacked on! Josh has painstakingly revisited every single line of every single page. I believe it shows.
This book will certainly replace its predecessor as the bible of our craft. Many of the code reviews I do for Java library code at Google basically end up with me spouting chapter and verse from EJ, and I can't wait for everyone to get the new edition so I can start doing the same with it!
(Not linking to amazon because I'm peeved at them; they let you click "see inside the book" but then they just show you the insides of the first edition, leading you to think that nothing has changed.)

Couldn't agree more. I can't wait to get my copy!
That's great news. I got EJ 1e during my first week at the Goog and quickly devoured it so I could understand what my more well-prepared colleagues were trying to say. The only down-side: I don't know what I'll do with my well-marked 1e copy.
This is no breaking news ! Crazy Bob has already shared this awesome news on Twitter quite some time ago.
That's definitely exciting, but I know for sure by the time it comes to India Josh will have his EJ3 ready.
EJ1 was just released in India only about 1 year ago. Many great books aren't available here. And the US edition prices are too costly when you do the conversion from USD to INR.
Truly great news. Kevin, Rob, I am sure you did a good job of helping out with reviewing chapters.
I am really looking forward to grab my copy.
I think Effective Java is the single most important book for advanced Java developers and besides it is really nice to read.
How does EJ2 compare to the Thinking In Java series pls? Both seem to get good reviews - which is better?
Debasish: The news is the fact that the book has gone to press and WILL be at JavaOne. The fact that Josh was trying for this was well known; I'm just telling you now that he pulled it off.
Srikanth: I can only assume that the INR to USD exchange rate is getting a lot better for you these days!
Amazon can't scan a book instantly, and until they get it done, they're going to show the best guess they can. If you don't want that, emailing their publisher support would be more productive than not linking to it. You're reading in malicious intent that isn't there.
But anyway, that's beside the point for me. Is there a PDF edition? I never buy dead tree editions of tech books anymore, they're just thrown out after a couple years, almost as wasteful as a yearly phone book. safari.oreilly.com is not an adequate substitute, it's too slow and can't be read offline.
Mark Hughes: I know that Josh Bloch has already contacted the publisher.
I guess I should have been more clear. I'm peeved at them for not doing anything about it after Rob told me and I told Josh and Josh told his publisher and his publisher bitched at them. :)
And I didn't say anything about any malicious intent! The idea of them trying to sabotage sales of a book is ludicrous.
I'm pretty sure there are no plans to sell it as a PDF at this point.
Hooray! Really great news. :-) I am eager to get my copy.
And congrats for the Jolt Award, too.
From Joshua Bloch's Effective Java book:
"(...).There is no way to extend an instantiable class and add a value component while preserving the equals contract, unless you are willing to forgo the benefits of object-oriented abstraction."
I think that is not correct. Let me now if I can send you my proposed solution. Thanks
(i can post that on my blog but I'm afraid you do not speak catalan ;-) )
