Missing punctuation in section 17.4.4Missing punctuation in section 17.4.4, page 514. Near the top of the page, the text "you might want
to just print a warning message and move on Warnings are not fatal" is missing a period. It should read
you might want
to just print a warning message and move on. Warnings are not fatal,

Execution of example maven plugin goal is backwardsAfter configuring a goalPrefix of "blah", the text on page 465 claims that you can run the echo goal with "mvn echo:blah". It is actually "mvn blah:echo"

Typo in section 9.4.3In the first paragraph of section 9.4.3 on page 186, the following sentence occurs:
For example,
you can specify that your project depends on version 3.8 or greater of JUnit, or
anything between version 1.2.10 and 1.2.14 of JUnit
I believe, based on the hypothetical version numbers offered in the second part of the sentence that the last word of this sentence should be "Log4J", not "JUnit".

Grammatical error in section 9.2.1In the first paragraph of section 9.2.1, the sentence:
All Maven project POMs extend this Super POM, it defines a set of defaults
shared by all projects.
Should probably be broken into two distinct sentences:
All Maven project POMs extend this Super POM. It defines a set of defaults
shared by all projects.

Grammatical error in first paragraph of section 8.4In the first paragraph of section 8.4, the following sentence occurs:
Most complex Maven multi-module projects tend to define all version
in the top-level POM.
Don't know what exactly you want to say here, but the singular form of the word "version" is almost certainly not correct.

Typo on page 147In the first paragraph at the top of page 147, the sentence:
This is often the case when a project's release consists of several closely coupled
component.
uses the singular form of "component". It should use the plural form.

Grammatical error in first paragraph of chapter 8In the first paragraph of section 8.1, there is a grammatical error in the sentence:
Maven is a very capable and tool which can be as simple or as complex
as you need it to be.
The first instance of the word "and" should be removed.

Typo on page 127, chapter 7On page 127, chapter 7, the sentence:
In other words, we

Type on page 106, chapter 7The last sentence on page 106 reads:
A textual description of
conditions, the temperature, and the data of the observation is stored in a
Condition class.
The word "data" should be "date"

Unit tests for chapter 4 don't build. Missing dependency on commons ioThe unit tests for the example in chapter 4 depend on apache commons io, which is not specified in the pom. I had to add the following to the pom:
<dependency>
<groupid>org.apache.commons</groupid>
<artifactid>commons-io</artifactid>
<version>1.3.2</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Example in chapter 4 does not build w/o pom changesThe example in chapter 4 requires java 5 since generics are used in the YahooParser class. However, the pom has not been modified to assume 1.5 source, so the build fails.

Punctuation error in section 3.5.5There is a punctuation error in section 3.5.5, in the last paragraph on page 43. The sentence reads:
"When creating a JAR for a project, dependencies will not be bundled with the
generated artifact they are only used for compilation."
There should probably be a comma between the words "artifact" and "they".

Grammatical error in section 3.5.5There is a grammatical error in the third paragraph of page 43 of section 3.5.5. The sentence reads:
Transitive dependencies
can come in handy when your project relies on another projects with several small
dependencies (like Hibernate, Apache Struts, or the Spring Framework).
The word "another" should probably be "other"

Wrong command listed in section 3.5.2On page 30 of chapter 3, the reader is asked to run the command "mvn install". Later, in the first sentence of page 35, the reader is informed that "The second command we rean in the previous section was mvn package."

Criticism of Ant in Section 1.2 not accurateOn page 2, section 1.2, second paragraph, you write:
While this might seem
trivial, consider the fact that most Ant-based builds have to define the locations of
these directories in every subproject.
I don't think anyone with experience with Ant 1.6 or greater would design a build this way. Most organizations define a common source code layout, all common build tasks are placed in a master build file that defines these locations in a master property file.
The build files for individual projects typically contain little more than an import of the master build file. And of course the local build file can utilize a local property file before the import to override any values in the master property file.
I'm not saying ant is better than maven. Just suggesting that your criticism of ant isn't really accurate.

Grammatical error in section 1.2There is a grammatical error on page, last sentence of first paragraph. It reads:
If you
don't care follow convention, Maven will allow you to customize defaults in order
to adapt to your specific requirements.
and probably should read:
If you
don't care *to* follow convention, Maven will allow you to customize defaults in order
to adapt to your specific requirements.
