Title: Not Revised Enough for Java 2
Product review: Yet another caveat about the "new, improved" version of Roberts & Heller's THE COMPLETE JAVA 2 CERTIFICATION STUDY GUIDE:In the discussion of the File class methods on pages 378 and 379, no mention is made of any method that is new to the File class with Java 2. There are 13 all-new methods in Java 2. Considering that this book has been "updated" for Java 2 (apparently in a rush to cash-in) I would have expected at least one mention of a new method. Like the very useful methods createNewFile() and createTempFile(), deleteOnExit() and others.I write this so that if you are depending exclusively on this book, read about the File class somewhere else.Independently, if you want to use the File class like you have come to expect from other programming languages and operating systems, you'll need the Java 2 methods.Also, the java.util package chapter has only ONE new exercise question applicable to the new (with Java 2) collections framework. Please!
