Java Forum / First Aid / November 2006misspelled class name
I might be mistaken, but I think there was one class or interface in the JDK whose name was not spelled correctly - can someone please confirm that? Thanks. > I might be mistaken, but I think there was one class or interface in > the JDK whose name was not spelled correctly - can someone please > confirm that? Thanks. java.awt.Color It's been bugging me for years. Dan.

It's not just Britain, but yes I prefer the correct spelling :) Returning to the original question, I think the Yan may be right about mis-spellings in the API. I'm not sure about class names but there is at least one method on the deprecated list that is mis-spelled and replaced by a correctly named equivalent. Dan.

No, I think it was of the xxxable interfaces that was misspelled, but I can't remember which and can't find it either. As long as everyone continues to misspell it, it's not really misspelt. :) -Cameron McKenzie Author of What is WebSphere?
