Errata
Please Note: These Errata are from the 1st edition of Up to Speed with Swing. Corrections have been incorporated into the 2nd edition of the book.
From the author:
Well, even though everyone tried very hard to produce a perfect book, there have been a few problems. Some of them are minor annoyances like formatting problems, others are changes to the API, and some are just dumb bugs. Regardless of their origins, this errata section identifies those problems that are known and, if possible, ways to work around them.
All of the errors listed here occur in the first printing of the book and have been corrected in subsequent printings.

Shortly after this book went to print, Sun made a change to the Swing class library and releases version 1.0.2. In this new release, the JDirectoryPane class has been eliminated. If you are using Swing 1.0.2 or later, the information and examples in section 3.12 of the book will no longer be appropriate.

Shortly after this book went to print, Sun made a change to the Swing class library and releases version 1.0.2. In this new release, the JFileChooser class was changed dramatically. As a result, the code shown in section 8.4 of the book no longer works. New code will be added to the web site as soon as the API for this class stabilizes.
