Errata

I spent hours installing and playing with the JBuilder3.5
software (on Windows) obtained from the book's CD.
I went through the tutorial supplied with Jbuilder and was
able to make their tutorial Hello World sample program
operate.

However, when it comes to making the book's example programs
operate on JBuilder3.5, there is no instruction on
how to get book examples to work with JBuilder3.5.

What are the steps required to make HelloJava1.java
which is a book example compile and execute with the supplied
Software JBuilder3.5? JBuilder is so complicated and featured,
that a first time user has no clue how to get book examples
running with it.

A user ought to be able to have instant success compiling
and running all these book examples. The examples and the supplied
JBuilder are not integrated as a training experience. The two ought
to install and be instant turn key success.

Please tell me how to compile book examples with JBuilder in a step by step
fashion.

valid complaint but can't fix until a next edition

or something that may be promoted to a float, such as an int. In Java, a
literal floating-point value, such as 1.0, is actually stored as a
double, not a float, and can not be implicitly converted to a float.
For example, the following declaration will not compile:

float length = 1.0;

However, the following will compile, using an appending 'f' to convert
1.0 to a float:

float length = 1.0f;

There are 10 errors of this type.

"In the previous example, print() has been overloaded to support two
reference types: Object and String."

In the previous example, print() was overloaded to also support char
[]. (All arrays are reference types.)

Therefore it should read something like:
"In the previous example, print() has been overloaded to support three
reference types: Object, String, and char []."

Note from the Author or Editor:

Please change from: "In the previous example, print( ) has been overloaded to support two reference types: Object and String."

to:

"In the previous example, print() has been overloaded to support the types Object and String."

TextUpdateable receiver;

should probably read:

TickerTape receiver;

Or else you are creating an instance of an interface.

FileInputStream foois = new FileOutputStream( fooFile, true);

It should read:

FileOutputStream foois = new FileOutputStream( fooFile, true);

Same is true on the next line.
