Confirmed errors:


{20}  In Example 2-3. Setting the shell styles;
The line just below the class declaration reads:

ShellStyles()    {

It should read:

ShellStylesExample()    {

otherwise the class has no constructor and nothing will happen.


(29) Setting the Shell Icon, line 3;
...icon on the right side of the titlebar.
should be:
...icon on the left side of the titlebar.


{71} the section just above figure 4-4;
replace the code in the "How do I do that?" section just above the figure, with:

final ToolItem sep2 = new ToolItem(bar, SWT.SEPARATOR);

final ToolItem checkItem = new ToolItem(bar, SWT.CHECK);

checkItem.setText("Auto Spell");

final ToolItem sep3 = new ToolItem(bar, SWT.SEPARATOR);

final ToolItem radioItem1 = new ToolItem(bar, SWT.RADIO);

radioItem1.setText("Zoom 1x");

final ToolItem radioItem2 = new ToolItem(bar, SWT.RADIO);

radioItem2.setText("Zoom2x");

final ToolItem sep4 = new ToolItem(bar, SWT.SEPARATOR);

final ToolItem radioItem3 = new ToolItem(bar, SWT.RADIO);

radioItem3.setText("Show Airports");

final ToolItem radioItem4 = new ToolItem(bar, SWT.RADIO);

radioItem4.setText("Show Cities");


(153)  2nd paragraph from the bottom;
"...automatically filsl..."  
should read:
"...automatically fills..."


(179)  Figure 11-4 caption;
"AAn inline ..." 
should read:
"An inline ..."


(282)  3rd paragraph from the bottom;
The last sentence of this paragraph says "SWT" when it means "AWT".

The current text reads:
"Although the same comment may be made about other Java-component-based toolkits,
such as SWT and SWING, it's even more true of the SWT."

It should read:
"Although the same comment may be made about other Java-component-based toolkits,
such as AWT and SWING, it's even more true of the SWT."
