unreported exception java.io.FileNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown

Question

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 throw

Answer 1

You need to put the file processing statements inside a method:

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

public class UseLoggingOutputStream {
    public void myMethod() {
        String file = "c:\\system.txt";
        try {
            FileOutputStream outStr = new FileOutputStream(file, true);
        } catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe) { 
            System.out.println(fnfe.getMessage());
        } 
    }
}
