I’ve been working with Maven a lot lately. One of my current projects involved migrating a complex Ant build to Maven using multiple modules, a ton of dependencies, and integration with a private remote repository hosted at Unfuddle (See: Subversion Help – Books, Plugins, and Hosting).
This book: Maven: The Definitive Guide has been indispensable throughout. In addition to the hardcopy, the folks at Sonatype are also maintaining an HTML and PDF version here.
Some notable links from my delicious bookmarks related to things I’m currently working on:

I’m excited about the cloud computing related content that was presented at JavaOne this year.
Sun announced a partnership with Amazon to offer OpenSolaris as an operating system choice on their Amazon EC2 (Elastic Computing Cloud) offering.
I just wrapped up JavaOne this year, but I flew in too late to catch the second annual CommunityOne Conference on Monday, which is more or less a free one day version of the JavaOne conference.
You can attend general session talks, panels, and technical sessions just like JavaOne but for free!
