No, it's current.  The JLS is what *defines* the language.  The other 
references simply describe it.  Thus, the JLS is the ultimate authority on 
what is and is not legal in Java.

One hint for that book:  he uses the terms "consider ("Consider static factory 
methods instead of constructors") and "prefer" ("Prefer interfaces to abstract 
classes") a lot.  He means that.  "Prefer" doesn't mean "always use". 
"Consider" doesn't mean "only use".  He's suggesting that we think about our 
choices, not make them blindly.
