Issue Author's Response
Chapter 3,page 59 - step 3
In NetBeans 6.8 (CDC Application dorm) there is no option for adding Swing components.

In source view displayed following error :
"package javax.swing does not exist"

No help from search engines, please help
with the issue.

Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the info --- unfortunately, the book's examples were tested with a much earlier (5.5) version of NetBeans, and we've not yet done another edition. I've not been near NetBeans for over a year, so I'm not sure why the change and deprecation of Swing.

Thanks!
Chapter 4, page 87
In "Packaging MIDlets" 2nd paragraph
Correct filenane is manifest.mf, not manfest.mf
This is absolutely correct --- thanks for catching my typo!

This should be fixed in the next printing.
Chapter 4, page 93.

The if statement in exitMIDlet() should read:

if(getDisplay().getCurrent() == get_infoForm())

this ensures that midlet is called back if the exit is before the 15 second timeout.
Hello!

That's an excellent find --- that makes perfect sense.

Thank you for the feedback!

Sincerely,
Ray Rischpater
