Positive reviews are still proliferating on the web about Java Power Tools book. The TechBookReport website gives the book an overall verdict of "Highly Recommended":

"Overall this is a great resource. It brings together all the major pieces one would want when building a development and build environment for Java. Each of the tools that is covered is worth looking at...each chapter can be read standalone and provides a complete tutorial for that tool...In short, this is deserving of a place on your bookshelf. Highly recommended."

The book also gets 5 stars on the O'Reilly web site, with one reviewer saying "Consider this book as doing the grunt work and giving you the ability to make a decision on which tools to invest your valuable time resource."

My good friend Andy Glover also talks about Java Power Tools on his blog saying, among other things, "it’s a vade mecum for anyone serious about producing working software effectively."
