In the second sentence, the method name "canGetHome" in class Rocket
should be "canGoHomeAgain".

FIXED

It states on p245:

"...import the normal Java date class as simply Date..."

Shouldn't it be SDate?

If we do as suggested; eg:

import java.sql.{Date => SDate}

and add a method to a class; eg:

def sql(date: String) : Date = { Date.valueOf(date) }

we will get a compiler error.

However, if we use SDate the compiler is happy:

def sql(date: String) : SDate = { SDate.valueOf(date) }


PS. I find the inclusion of:

import java.sql.{Date => SDate}

in the text redundant as it adds nothing to the previous example of:

import Fruits.{Apple=>McIntosh,Orange}

after reading this example we now the => mapping syntax.
