Here is the current draft version of our errata sheet:
http://gliesian.com/files/oca-errata-draft.doc
Note that there are a few mores items (errata) that are under review that we have not yet added to the sheet.
Once we finalize the errata sheet, we will forward it to the publisher where it will be posted officially, and if the book goes through an update cycle, the changes will be incorporated.
The main reason I've posted the draft errata sheet, is because you requested the information for the new book, so it'll give you an early look at what will change in the English version.
If anyone else reading this thread have encountered any additional errata not listed on the sheet, please let us know and we'll validate and roll the new errata into an updated version of the sheet.
Thanks,
Robert

This section begins with the sentence ...
"Several methods of the String class are commonly used ... ensureIgnoreCase()."
I think that last method is probably equalsIgnoreCase().

If a user-defined method does not use super, the compiler will automatically make a call with super to the parent class’s constructor with no parameters.

Java has built-in methods for copying the data from one array to another. These methods copy the data and create two independent arrays upon completion.

I'm no author, but can somebody explain why, when writing a coding book, the examples aren't proof read or even tested? If were to write a book I'd take the time out to make sure everything was correct and compiled successfully.

On page 147 there is these 2 lines
The c5 should be 98, not 121.
And I didn't understand from where the 131072 came from and what was its meaning.
Thanks

About the practical exam (Appendix H) don't you think that:
Question 13 - If the continue statement is allowed in switch statement then the break is also (as well the continue) in all conditional statements. After all, since the conditional statement is inside a loop, you can have a break or continue statement. Don't you agree?

13 - The continue and break statements are allowed within what types of statements?
A. Loop statements
B. All conditional statements
C. The switch statement
D. Expression statements
answer (book): A and C
In my opnion the answer is wrong.
Only A is right. If you try put the continue statement in the switch will occur a compilation error.
Try this:
The exception say:
TestClass.java:11: error: continue outside of loop
default: continue;
^
1 error
All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable.
