Below is a repository of links for Java users. Linked to each link is the particular post on this sticky that corresponds to the subject matter. To add subjects or items to a particular list (which I encourage you to do to help make it more complete) I ask that you PM the moderator of the forum at the time. Which right now, is me.

Frequently Asked Questions

My java script ...
Java does not equal javascript (notice the uppercase and lowercase use). Java is a programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. javascript is a client-side language used in html
Why doesn't String == work?
Strings in Java aren't considered a primitive type. Instead a String is a class type and as such whenever you create it you are just creating a pointer to the memory where the data for the String object is being held. In order to do a correct equals you need to use either equals (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#equals(java.lang.Object)) or equalsIgnoreCase (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#equalsIgnoreCase(java.lang.String)).
