ECC.EMPTY
An Empty Catch Clause (ECC.EMPTY) warning appears if nothing is written in a catch block. If you catch an exception, it would be better to process it rather than to ignore it.
Example 1
Copy
public void openFile(String name) {
try {
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(name);
// read file ...
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
}
ECC.EMPTY is reported for line 16: Empty catch clause
