You have a different definition of "documentation bug" than I do. By your definition, every piece of documentation ever written has bugs, since every piece of documentation ever written could always add more material. Moreover, you run into the same problems trying to use JARs between different Java editions (e.g., JavaME vs. JavaSE vs. JavaEE), Java versions (e.g., Java 7 vs. Java 6 vs. Java 5 vs. ...), and different Java implementations (e.g., GCJ vs. OpenJDK). The issues are more prevalent in Android, because it is by definition different than any other Java-ish environment. However, this sort of stuff happens all the time in Java development, and experienced Java developers should not be fazed by it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
