        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification

Confirmed errors:


{35} In the code example,

    JLayeredPane desktop;

Should be

    JDesktopPane desktop;


(188) The final JList constructor should be
 
    public JList(Vector vector) 
	Creates a JList using a Vector of objects passed in to populate
        the data model. The contents of the list will be the result of
        calling toString() on each element in the Vector.


(313) In the sentence that begins "The validateRoot property is 
      always true to ensure that revalidation...",  
      whoch should be which.
 

(317) Under the getScrollableUnitIncrement description: "The unit
      increment specifies how to display the next logical row or 
      column; the bolck increment specifies...", bolck should be block.


{437} Under The MenuDragMouseListener Interface, it reads:
 	
 public abstract void menuDragMouseDragged(PopupMenuEvent e)
 	Called when the mouse has been dragged inside of a menu item.
 
 public abstract void menuDragMouseReleased(PopupMenuEvent e)
 	Called when the mouse has been released inside of a menu item.
 
 public abstract void menuDragMouseEntered(PopupMenuEvent e)
 	Called when the mouse is being dragged, and has entered a menu item.
 
 public abstract void menuDragMouseExited(PopupMenuEvent e)
 	Called when the mouse is being dragged, and has exited a menu item.
 
It should read:
 
 void menuDragMouseDragged(MenuDragMouseEvent e)
 	Called when the mouse has been dragged inside of a menu item.
 
 void menuDragMouseReleased(MenuDragMouseEvent e)
 	Called when the mouse has been released inside of a menu item.
 
 void menuDragMouseEntered(MenuDragMouseEvent e)
 	Called when the mouse is being dragged, and has entered a menu item.
 
 void menuDragMouseExited(MenuDragMouseEvent e)
 	Called when the mouse is being dragged, and has exited a menu item.


{480} The import statement in the example should be:

	import javax.swing.*;

	...to reflect the latest package names, and the getContentPane().add()
	method should be to follow our "standard" of using setContentPane()
	when there is only one component to add:

	setContentPane(jsp); 


(496) In the first line below the Properties table,  "whic h"
      should be "which".


(501) In the last method described, almost at the bottom of the page:
      "public setValueAt( Object balue," should be "value"


(515) In the middle of the JTable Constants table, in the description of 
      AUTO_RESIZE_NEXT_COLUMN ! end of first line  "netx" should read "next"


(518) In the middle of the page, public Compinent should read Component 


(526) Under the heading "Inner Classes," "bublic" should read "public" 


{563} First code example: 

     add(messageLabel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

Should read: 
     
	getContentPane().add(messageLabel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);


{686} It now reads


        // Remove an UndoableEditListener using our support object.
        public void removeUndoableEditListener(UndoableEditListener l) {
         support.AddUndoableEditListener(l);
        }


Should read:
 
	// Remove an UndoableEditListener using our support object.
 	public void removeUndoableEditListener(UndoableEditListener l) {
 	 support.removeUndoableEditListener(l);
 	}


(903) Within getViewAtPosition() method: use "entry"

       ...contains the View's allocation on entry and is constrained
       to the child's View on exit....
