Java in a Nutshell, 2nd edition
by David Flanagan


Here are the changes from the 10/97 reprint:


{6}: next-to-last para., last sentence now reads:

Finally, and very importantly, Java's automatic garbage collection
relieves the developer of many of the mundane housecleaning tasks
normally associated with memory management, which helps avoid
pernicious bugs related to memory allocation and deallocation.

{29}: second para. under "Garbage Collection": changed the last
sentence to read:

This means that in our programs, we spend less time worrying about
freeing memory and destroying objects--the garbage collector takes
care of that.

{70}: line -5 of para. 2: changed "instance of the class or a
subclass of it, then" to "instance of the class, then"

{97}: line 3 of para. 2 under "Object Serialization": changed "that
subclass the Serializable" to "that implement the Serializable"

{99}: under "Enterprise APIs...": changed "and Security packages will
be documented, along with other, forthcoming APIs, in a separate
volume, Java Enterprise in a Nutshell." to "and Security packages may
be documented, along with other, forthcoming APIs, in a separate
volume."

{127}: last line: changed "applets security" to "applets"

(133): next-to-last line before code example: put "appletviewer" in
italics instead of constant width

(135): next-to-last bullet: added "the" before "'XOR mode'"

(147): text para. 1, line 2: changed "which list the" to "which lists
the"

{149}: example 7-1: added a line after "g = this.getGraphics():"

this.requestFocus();  //Ask for keyboard focus so we get key events

{160}: 2nd code block: changed lines 2 and 3 from:

if (e.isPopupTrigger())                  // If popup trigger,
  popup.show(this, e.getX(), e.getY());  // pop up the menu

to:

if (e.isPopupTrigger()) {                              // If popup trigger,
  popup.show(this, e.getX(), e.getY()); e.consume(); } // pop up the menu

{167}: made the same change to line 4 and 5

            public boolean isP()
  setter:   public void setP()

(211): next-to-last line: changed "cast" to "casts"
