2nd to last paragraph

"If you click the little horizontal lever to the left of one of the Explorer's node
icons that happens to represent Java source+class, [...] illustrated in Figure 2-10."
Figure 2-10 show the runtime view and not a java+class node, and none of the nodes
are expanded. Perhaps this was meant to refer to figure 2-1 instead.

3rd paragraph

In the section on Abbreviations, the last paragraph refers to figures 3-3 and 3-4.
Only figure 3-4 concerns abbreviations, however. Figure 3-3 has to do with updating
the parser database (nothing in the section on this refers to any figures).

Example 9-4

Both setTetA and setTextB refer to a method
firePropertyChangeListenerPropertyChange(event) but the example provides no source
for that method. It is in the examples along with the other PropertyChangeListener
methods that aren't in the example either.

Example 9-7

The two lines in example 9-7:
//jLabel1.setText(jTextField1.getTextSum());
should be changed to:
//jLabel1.setText(jTextField1.getText() + jTextField2.getText());
according to what we wrote in example 9-3, p 159

Code sample for performAction() under step 8

The TopManager class has been replaced.
The code sample for the performAction() method should be as follows:
NotifyDescriptor desc = new NotifyDescriptor.Message("Hello from a module!");
DialogDisplayer.getDefault().notify(desc);

Item #7

First, the jar file wasn't actually created automatically. I had to build it with
Build > Build. The jar file also didn't show the display name, just the package name:
com-newt-nbmodules-helloworld.

Then, when I executed the jar file as described, I got the following error message:

Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
/home/bwohler/.9780596002800/exp/netbeans/modules/com-newt-nbmodules-helloworld.jar

I fixed this by viewing the properties of the jar file, and setting the Executor to
Install as Module.

NetBeans 3.6.
