The invokeAny() method in table 7.1 is described as returning a Future, while the declaration correctly shows the return type as <T> T.

Welcome to the Ranch Please confirm that is the Boyarsky & Selikoff book. Is this the method you mean? Yes, its return type is T.

Thanks! And yes that's correct. The table has a column showing the method declaration and a column describing the method. The description is wrong for that method.
