Indeed, and it's so complex and such a manual burden that you even 
forgot a further
line = reader.readLine();

inside your while block.

I find it completely unimaginable that people would even think 
suggesting the idea that Java is simpler.  It's one of the most stupidly 
verbose and cranky languages out there, to the point you can't really do 
anything of relevance without an IDE automatically pumping out lots of 
scaffold code for you.
