Answer 1

You can create a counter that contains the value of the starting line:

private final static START_LINE = 1;

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(somepath));
int counter=START_LINE;

while ((line1 = reader.readLine()) != null) {
  if(counter>START_LINE){
     //your code here
  }
  counter++;
}
