Spring Live - First Impression

First thing I'd like to say is that this book is very readable and flows well. One of the best parts so far is using equinox or appfuse light. I knew appfuse existed but had never really played with it before. After creating just a couple sample projects, I'm convinced I will use them going forward. Great work!

With all the raves, there is also one rant. After going through just a couple chapters in Spring Live, I'm already tired of not being able to copy/paste code. While I realize a chapter by chapter download is available, I don't want to have to keep switching from the pdf to the downloaded code and then back to my working editor. This is one step that I don’t have to do with the pdf’s from Manning’s MEAP Program and therefore speeds up my progress. I’m assuming they disallow copy/paste for copy write reasons, but this is a major pain. Is there any way to allow copy/paste on just the code snippets?
