try {
    String line = input.readLine();
    while (line != null) {
        line = input.readLine();
    }
}
catch (IOException ioe) {
    logger.debug("IOException...really need better handling here");
}

Everyone, at one point or another, is guilty for just swallowing an exception. Java tends to be a bit trigger happy with its checked exceptions (especially in the IO packages), so it’s inevitable to be in a position of having to deal with an exception that admittedly will probably not happen while trying to get something else accomplished.

The nice part is that I’m cleaning this up and actually providing the better handling. The cool part is that I’m using code I wrote for CodeTurtle to do it.
