The code examples are not available on the Sonatype web site. I clicked on the link to zip file and got an error:

Please fix the link so I can download the example code.

Throughout the book |
I have a copy of the first printing. All the figures are missing. Not just in one chapter, but all the figures. The first figure is Figure 3-1. Instead of a figure, I see a square with a staircase looking marking on the lower right. I didn't notice it at first as it looked like it might be intentional, until I realized this is just a pretty version of the broken image. The last missing figure seems to be Figure 16-22 toward the end of the book.
Something else that appears to be broken is that every instance of user input is "%" or a "$" followed by a bunch of boxes. The ":" symbol sometimes get through. It looks like a missing font issue.
I've emailed O'Reilly but no response.

[ERROR] FATAL ERROR

under <execution> the <id> is listed as 'simple-command' which I assumed was the culprit but when I replaced it with 'simple-weather' that errored the same way.

Last paragraph |
The sentence says that the POM file in simple-parent/pom.xml (or ch06-multi/simple-parent/pom.xml based on the extraction from the downloaded examples) is the parent, or top-level, POM. If that is the case then what is the POM file in ch06-multi/pom.xml called?
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>org.sonatype.mavenbook.ch06</groupId>
<artifactId>parent</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>Chapter 6 Parent Project</name>
<url>http://sonatype.com/book</url>
<parent>
<artifactId>examples</artifactId>
<groupId>org.sonatype.mavenbook</groupId>
<version>1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<modules>
<module>simple-parent</module>
</modules>
</project>
Logically I would think ch06-multi/pom.xml would be the parent POM. There is no mention of this particular POM. Is this POM needed?

Example 6-1 |
The simple-parent project POM file: simple-parent/pom.xml from the printed book does not tally with the downloaded pom.xml from the examples.
This portion is missing in the printed book:
<parent>
<artifactId>parent</artifactId>
<groupId>org.sonatype.mavenbook.ch06</groupId>
<version>1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
This confusion is further exacerbated by the explanation in the printed book in Pg 78, " ... the groupId is com.sonatype.maven, the artifactId id simple-parent and the version is 1.0. The ..." which doesn't tally to pom.xml in both the book and the downloaded examples.

2nd pom example (Optional Dependencies section) |
<project>
...
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.ehcache</groupId>
<artifactId>swarmcache</artifactId>
<version>1.4.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
I think the artifactId should be ehcache (not swarmcache).

Chapter 12 example source (page 220-259) |
The chapter 12 source in the examples: mvn-examples-1.0.zip 31-Oct-2008 15:00 287K
has only a very short pom.xml, it seems like it should have the assembly snippets that are described on pages 220-259 of the printed version.
The complete directory listing is:
$ find .
.
./.classpath
./.project
./.settings
./.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
./.settings/org.maven.ide.eclipse.prefs
./pom.xml
And the pom:
$ cat pom.xml

Chapter 14 |
All Figures in the chapter are missing.
Please email the missing figures to me or send me a refund check for the
purchase price.
I purchased the book from amazon.com largely on the contents of chapter 14.

The text seems to suggest that Mylyn is a prerequisite for the Maven Eclipse plug-in. What is your basis for this? It does not match my experience.

Page 311
Example 15-1 |
The "Site Descriptor" is presented in Example 15-1 (page 311). For a newcomer it isn't clear which file is to be edited (my first guesses were pom.xml and index.apt). Only the page 314 made it clear that site descriptor is /src/site/site.xml.
Perhaps at least the introduction of /src/site/site.xml should be done before Example 15-1, even if the complete site directory structure comes later in the book.
