Get the 2nd edition!
This is an absolutely amazing book for JFC. Its one heck of a reference-cum-tutorial, with detailed explanations for each class in the library. Suitable for anyone who can understand & use O'reilly's Java in a Nutshell (another brilliant book!) easily. However, a few years back, the author had previously covered the topic in two separate books. (Core Java Foundation Classes (1300pgs) & Core Swing: Advanced Features (998pgs) ). In 2001, the author combined both of the books to bring Core JFC (...)ISBN:013090581X. Its over 1600 pages of pure JFC and Swing goodness.I'd recommend you get Core JFC, rather than purchasing the other two books separately. Since, it certainly has everything you'd pretty much need for building an enterprise Swing/JFC app without any problems. PS.
I used this book and Java 2D API Graphics by Vincent J. Hardy to develop a client-server airline reservation application for my final year graduate project. Hope this helps!

Great book
This is a great book for those who want to know Swing in depth. I just wish they had a new edition of the book covering JDK 1.3 and 1.4.

Good Stuff, Lots of usable code
It's like buying a years worth of experience for the price of a book. Lots of great code you can cut and paste into your applications. I've also got his Advanced Swing book.
