Answer 1

I know this is an old question, but just in case someone is looking for the answer, java now has the try-with-resouce solution.

static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException {
      try (BufferedReader br =
                   new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path))) {
        return br.readLine();
    }
}
