I'd appreciate it if others can suggest sites with 'clean' cert material and or worthy general Java sites.

I'll take a risk of popping my head up here (and potentially getting bitten for it ).

From my past experience, probably one of the best resources online for "clean" material for studying for any of Sun's Java exams (as well as the IBM exams that deal with their Java technology) is JavaRanch.com's Saloon. The site was created by Kathy Sierra (one of the authors of the Head First series) and many of the moderators are involved in the creation of the exams themselves. There's discussion on the boards of many of the mock exams that are available online as well as suggested reading, and the moderators (bartenders/sheriffs to stick with the Saloon theme) are very diligent at policing the boards to keep it clean.

It might not exactly match what the sense of what perhaps was being requested, but it is the resource I most use when preparing for Sun's exams.
