"Every year or so" to me can mean two different needs: either you want 
something like a cheat sheet, a quick way to look up some detail you 
don't remember. I can't recommend anything in that line, would be 
interested to hear what others recommend.

Or it could mean you want in-depth coverage, like a reference handbook, 
but with examples, so you can make yourself conversant in reasonable 
time with something that is basically new to you. In that case I'd look 
to Cay Horstmann's "Core Java" Vol. I and II, that have just been 
revised for Java 8 (10th edition).

I'm not sure  "Effective Java" is for the occasional need.
