An excellent reference book with source examples for Java development and APIs from collections and file I/O to threads and javamail.

Java Internationalization
O'Reilly & Associates by Andrew Deitsch, et al.

Good coverage of internationalization and localization issues related to building a multi-cultural application. Excellent introduction to the Unicode Standard that can support hundreds of character sets for most modern languages and many ancient ones.

Java Performance Tuning
O'Reilly & Associates by Jack Shirazi

A great guide to eliminating performance problems in a Java application both during development and during the performance testing phase. Examines how a good performance tuning methodology is different from blindly implementing numerous performance tweaks.
