  If you want to become a top-notch Java/J2EE developer then what qualities or traits do you have to build? Are technical skills alone enough? How about business and interpersonal skills? What about attention to details vs learning the high level concepts?

  
  The Top Notch Java/J2EE developers should have the following qualities or traits
  

  
  -- Passion to learn and build quality Java/J2EE Systems. without passion one can not achieve anything.
  

  -- Ability to think not only from the technical perspective but also from the business perspective.

  -- Ability to analyse "What if" scenarios like what if I want to support new products in the future? What if I want to support web cliets? etc.

  
  -- Ability to lo look at the big picture (like design concepts, transactional issues, concurrency issues, performance, memory etc) and drill down to details when required to do so.
  

  -- Right attitude. Avoid I know it all attitude. I have come across some talented Java/J2EE practioners who hardly listen and believe that they know it all  would not like to be corrected.

  -- Good interpersonal and communication skills.

  
  -- Eagerness to learn and keep up with the emerging technologies and frameworks like SPring, Ajax, JSF, Hibernate etc.
