The abovementioned book (now titled: "Java Design
Patterns: A Tutorial" by James W. Cooper), did not have the code for the Factory pattern (amongst others) included on the website for this older edition.
Since I went through the trouble of inputting the code, I figured I would share it with the fellow ranchers in case they want to save themselves some time and just cut and paste what I've got.
I got lazy and didn't include the comments, nor did I use Swing, but it should still save you some time. Also, I did include additional println stmts to follow the flow of the programs if you are a beginner like myself.
Happy Pattern learning!
