Java Threads, 2ed
by Scott Oaks & Henry Wong


Here are the changes made in the 5/99 reprint:


(26) The first paragraph of Chapter 2 used to read:

	As in earlier versions of Java, we have a TimerThread
        object that is started and stopped when the applet is
        started and stopped. In Java 2, the applet's stop()
        method does more than just stop the TimerThread: it also
        checks to make sure the thread actually has stopped.
   
It now reads:

        Just like the earlier versions, we have a TimerThread
        object that is started and stopped when the applet is
        started and stopped. In this newer version, the applet's
        stop() method does more than just stop the TimerThread: it
        also checks to make sure the thread actually has stopped.


{34} Line 16 of Animate class. The line that used to read:
      
	t = null;

Is now commented out:
      
	// t = null;
   
This class is meant to show a problem by not running correctly.


{154} In Chapter 6, Line 9 of CPUSupport class, 
	
	"System.loadLibrary("CPUSupportSolaris");"

Deleted extra indent.


(258) In Chapter 9, the bottom paragraph, the reference to 
      "LoopSelfHandler" has been changed to "SelfLoopHandler."


{292} Last paragraph. The line that used to read:
      
	boolean allowThreadSuspension(boolean b) (Java 1.1 and above only)
   
Now reads:
      
	 boolean allowThreadSuspension(boolean b) (Java 1.1 only)
