I am creating a class -- just a class, no main() and I am receiving the error of "unreported exception java.io.FileNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown" at this line:
FileOutputStream outStr = new FileOutputStream(FILE, true);
I don't understand; I put in a try{} catch{} block and it's still reporting the error.
Additionally, it's also reporting an "illegal start of type" for the try and both catch lines, and it's also saying that ';' is expected for both catch lines.
I'm using the NetBean IDE, FYI.
Thank you for any help.
Here is the full code:
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
public class UseLoggingOutputStream
{
String FILE = "c:\\system.txt";
try
{
FileOutputStream outStr = new FileOutputStream(FILE, true);
}
catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe)
{
System.out.println(fnfe.getMessage());
}
catch(IOException ioe)
{
System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
}
}
