         <p><h3>17 June 2007: Errata Published</h3>
         We have begun, based on user feedback, gathering the 'errata' of the book

         <p>If you have come across code or text in the book that you believe
         is not entirely correct, please write to dev@openide.netbeans.org with
         your comments. Your issues will be discussed on that list and, if it turns
         out that your comments are genuinely 'errata worthy', they will be added to
         the errata page.
