There's a Java rehash of much of the GOF patterns but there are some new ones of interest mainly the concurrency patterns. Just a few of these patterns are Java idioms but most usable in other languages. ::ISBN 0471227293 (amazon.com, search) (**+) UML in a Nutshell - Sinan Si AlbirA pretty dry reference to the details of the UML specification.
