We used to make a docs.tar.gz file with the Javadoc information, but we no longer do that. Why not? Because the people who need these docs on their local machine, usually create the docs themselves using the ANT script that is shipped with the source code. > (3) The first edition of the book has a class diagram in the appendix. > The second edition does not. The most important class diagram (the one with the basic building blocks) has moved from the Appendix to chapter 2. The second most important class diagram (the one with the manipulation classes) was replaced by the more useful overview of classes in the summary of chapter 6. > Is there a reason for it ? Yes, the diagrams weren't useful. > How to get an > idea at a glance of what is the structure of the library ? In the case of the basic building blocks, the class diagram is useful. In the case of the manipulation classes, the class diagram wasn't useful. If you're asking for a class diagram for the complete library: that doesn't fit on a book page ;-) > (4) Where is the errata for the book ? both editions ? link ? There are no errata pages for the first book. Hardly any errors were reported. The second book is less than two months old, no errors were reported yet? > (5) What other sites or documentation should one know to bother the > mailing list the least ... links please ?

We've experimented with forums, but unfortunately these forums are very vulnerable for abuse. Instead of genuine questions, they were full of SPAM for Prada shoes, medical supplements, etc...
