Errata for Exploring Java

In the text it says "ARCHIVES attribute" which should be "ARCHIVE attribute". (I tried to let my Applet run with an ARCHIVES attribute in the APPLET tag, it didn't work too good. ;o) )

The = symbol in Java is overloaded to provide string concatenation; this is the only overloaded operator in Java: to The + and += operators in Java are overloaded to provide string concatination; these are currently the only overloaded operators in the language. (note that the colon changed to a period.)

myProps.put("foo", "bar); myprops.put("boo", "gee); to myProps.put("foo", "bar"); myprops.put("boo", "gee");

to "InedibleException"

void setScale( int size ) { to public void setScale( int size ) {

with the "s" in "synchronized"

} which should be left-aligned with "class MyThing {"

"insertElementAt()"

BufferedReader bin = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( in ); to BufferedReader bin = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( in ) );

BufferedReader bin = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( in ); to BufferedReader bin = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( in ) ); (same fix as page 303)

listener.close(); } catch (IOException e ) { }

private void fireEvent() { propChanges.firePropertyChange( "value", null, new Integer(value)); }

to the semantic object; tags delimit elements, and using the two words interchangeably engenders confusion. (This is akin to using "handler" and "interrupt" interchangeably.) reply from the author: This is true, but it's the common usage.
