I'm working on a Java application that involves file I/O, and I'm dealing with checked exceptions, specifically FileNotFoundException when attempting to read a file. I want to handle this exception gracefully in my code.

Here's a simplified version of what I'm trying to do:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public class FileProcessor {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String fileName = "sample.txt";

        try {
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
            String line;

            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }

            reader.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("An error occurred while reading the file: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}


In this code, I'm attempting to read the contents of a file named "sample.txt." If the file doesn't exist or there's an I/O error, a FileNotFoundException or an IOException might occur.

I want to improve the exception handling in my code to provide more meaningful error messages and possibly take different actions based on the exception type. Could you provide a concise Java code example demonstrating how to handle these exceptions effectively while keeping the code clean and readable? Thank you for your assistance!

It's better to ask general Java questions (as opposed to questions about using Eclipse's tools for Java development) on a general forum such https://stackoverflow.com/
