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.

second paragraph |
the word "archetype" is split on line 4 with no hyphen. It is just
arche/type with no indication that the word is split.
Similar problem on page 31 in the first paragraph after the alert box.
archetype:cre/ate is badly split.
I'm sure there are other examples of this.
On page 31 in the first paragraph after the figure 3-1, there is a line that is correct but somewhat ugly because the two "-D..." parameters are not split.
I understand that formatting problems are a pain to deal with, but since you publish technical (programming) books, I would expect better. I once returned a book from another company because the formatting of code was TERRIBLE. This is not that bad, but it is confusing and inconsistent.

just to get the same place information( Evanston,Il,Us), exec:java is ok only that the template doesn't show the data.

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">

<groupId>org.sonatype.mavenbook.ch06</groupId>

<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.

The relationships not properly depicted
1)simple project should inherit from Super POM.
2)simple-webapp, simple-command, simple-persist , simple-weather, simple-model should all inherit from simple-project.
3)simple-webapp, simple-command, simple-persist , simple-weather, simple-model should all be Module of simple-project.
This is important especially if you read thru page 170, 171 when the author tries to differentiate between inheritance and multi module "composition"

Last paragraph |
The sentence: "Running mvn clean invokes the clean lifecycle that consists of three lifecycle phases: pre-clean, clean, post-clean." is incorrect. "mvn clean" invokes the clean phase of the clean lifecylce. It will include pre-clean, but will not cause post-clean to run, any more than running "mvn test" will cause the package or install phase of the default lifecyle to run.

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.

The sentence "Example 17-8 shows a ZipMojo that depends on a Plexus component using the @parameter annotation." is pointing to the wrong example, 17-8 is using an @component annotation on the zipArchiver member. Example 17-7 us using @parameter on the same member.
