Java Help

[NotAGolf]

I'm looking for either a book or online tutorial into drawing and handling graphics in Java (2D and maybe a little bit of 3D). It needs to cover the basics becauses I'm a bit of a noob .
I've found lots of small tutorials online but they discuss only a small area of functionality or dont go into much detail. I think I would prefer to get a book if possible but i'm not sure whats out there, the only one i've found is Java 2D Graphics By Jonathan Knudsen but its not got the greatest reveiws.

Thanks for any advice.

What, if any, specifics are you after?

Well its for my final year project at uni. I'm re-doing the moving map systems you see on planes (you know the map of where the plane is), but I dont know exactly what that will require, probably some kind of basic wireframe model and filling that with the appropriate terrain shade (i.e. green for sea-level going to yellow/brown at hight). It's going to be interactive, i.e. you can zoom/rotate camera (like google earth) so the main thing is the camera engine, hopefully actually drawing it wont be too hard, its the maths behind it that will.

Hope that clears it up a little bit

Thanks for the replies so far peeps. No other books that anyone thinks would be applicable then?
