I read the chapter 4, about the FillLayout manager. In the book, it says "no options are provided to control the widget spacing, margins, or wrapping. " But I checked the 3.5 api, FillLayout can handle the widget spacing, margins. Maybe this is a problem in the book or a change in Galileo?

That text was written for the original 1st edition of the book six years ago and no one noticed the change in Eclipse that was made since then. This will be updated in the next edition.
