Confirmed errors:


{xiv} Obtaining the Example Programs section;
This section is incorrect and needs to be replaced with the proper URL to download the code.

ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/published/oreilly/9780596527754
should be:

Also, the section about ftpmail should be completely removed.  We don't have ftpmail service.


[4]  last code snippet;
In the line
for (int i = 0; i < ints.size; i++) { s += ints[i]; }

(16) 3rd line;
"Collections" should be "Collection"


(31)first line;
"more-advanced" should be "more advanced"

should be 3.14 not 3,14 since that is not the compile error being demonstrated

"unchecked cast to T()" should read "unchecked cast to T[]"

I.e., the square brackets were mis-typed as paranetheses.

The apostrophy in "collection's" appears as a registered trademark symbol.


{242} last paragraph;
The phrase

the platform implementations of NavigableMap.keySet do return a NavigableMap.

should read

the platform implementations of NavigableMap.keySet do return a NavigableSet.
