The required text is:

Data Structures & Problem Solving using Java, second edition. Mark Allen Weiss. Addison Wesley. ISBN 0-201-74835-5.

An optional text is by Gries and Gries, "ProgramLive", Wiley & Sons (don't buy that version). It was used in CS100J, Fall 2003 and is being used this semester as well in CS100J. The Cornell bookstore sells a draft of a paper book along with the CD. It contains over 250 recorded lectures with synched animation for a first programming course, with the addition of other material on recursion, interfaces, inner classes, and GUIS. The lectures makes it easier to learn some material than with a mere book.
