   Java is used in lots of areas of AI, from rule based systems to evolutionary   
   algorithms to neural nets.   
      
   Two recent books worth looking at are Dr Ghanea-Hercock's book on Java and   
   genetic algorithms (see http://www.techbookreport.com/AIIndex.html for a   
   review), and Jess In Action (Java rule based systems)   
   (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1930110898/454/202-6398933-7814258   
   ).   
      
   On a more general note, there's also an online book on Java and AI by Mark   
   Watson (http://www.markwatson.com/opencontent/).   
      
   All the best,
