java-programmer, getting starting with ... ... Java

I am newbie of sorts: I'm familiar with java to a some extent, but I have
never had the chance to use it. Which means, I'm not as comfortable with
it as I am with other languages (php,asp,python,c,perl,etc). What is the
best way to get comfortable? Is there any particular direction I should be
heading? I never read a book from start to end, unless it's a novel, so
with other programming languages I've learnt the fundamentals, and the
bits and pieces here and there as needed. Database connectivity, web
(server based) apps are of interest as most work I do is related to these.

Current projects include pulling stats from a database (Postgres,mysql) in
python and, a web credit card payment system in php. Im also maintaining
one of our "legacy" systems in perl.

I have lots of time, and I want use doing something productive in java,
that is my aim.

Directions will be helpfull....
