Java Regexp API

According to Oreilly Learning Java 2nd ed chap 9.6.1.7 (chap 10.7.1.7 for 3rd ed),

\w+@\w+(\.\w)+ // Match an email address

This expression matches a word, followed by an @ symbol, followed by another word and then one or more literal dot-separated words e.g., [e-mail], [e-mail], or [e-mail].

However, I guess it should only match pat@pat.a.b.c.d, friend@foo.b.a.r.c, etc. Am I right?

Yes you are right. Must be a typo.
