Section 17.5 says this in its second paragraph: "final fields must be used correctly to provide a guarantee of immutability." That's the last sentence. To me that's ascribing special semantics to just the word 'immutable.' If it's saying "final fields must be used" then it's special for final fields. I realize there a qualifier on that, but the qualifier is "correctly" and they're just pointing out it's a little tricky. final fields must be used is the key point. (Used incorrectly, of course, they won't guarantee immutability.) I see how you might read that differently, but without final fields the number of useful immutable classes is pretty small.

The first thread to calculate a hash code will always see 0. That's what triggers the hash code calculation, rather than just returning the value stored in the hash code field.
