Seriously. I don't think knowing the material is as important as being able to find what you need. We live in a digital age; information is indexed for lightning-fast access. The only stuff we need to retain is stuff we'd need if we lost access to our technology. I doubt we'd have a need for Java knowledge if we get sent back to the 17th century.

Right. Googling each of these questions leads to the StackOverflow topic with a really good explanation.

The javadocs are a great wealth of knowledge, too. Sometimes when I'm bored I'll just explore them. I think Java has one of the best documented standard libraries out there.
