FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Documentation issue, not runtime

FULL OS VERSION :
this report has nothing to do with OS

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
A code example was added to java.util.zip.Deflater and java.util.zip.Inflater, which was desparately needed. However, the code doesn't even compile.
There are checked Exceptions which are not caught in the example.

Actually, if memory serves there were three uncaught exceptions. Imagine some java newbie who maybe hasn't met try/catch blocks in her course wanting to
use compression.

Anyhow, scan the Advanced Language Topics forum for an extended discussion on this bit of java. Or check the bug base. Or both.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See the docs. Copy the code. Stick it into a main() and try to compile.

(These code examples were badly needed. They were not in 1.4.0, added in 1.4.1.)


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
