Java is for people who wear a condom when they jerk off to porn.

Java is an endless exercise in trying to offload as much code generation as possible to the editor while convincing yourself that you aren't really doing any of that nasty higher-level programming, since you're keeping any semblance of power or expressiveness out of the language itself.
It's a great plan, really. They have enough artificial limitations for about 20 years of careful release of 'productivity enhancing features', and then they can use another 20 on upgrading the language itself. Java programmers eat that shit right up. "Wow, you mean with this editor, I won't have to manually type in about 20 identical getters and setters for every class I make? This modern technology sure is making our job easier."
A fun meta-exercise is to take note of every time you could have saved yourself some work by programming in a real language. There's nothing more motivating than noticing that more than half your code is either copy-paste with minor edits, or cumbersome workarounds for limitations in the language.

At least it doesn't require you #include <stdio.h> for every single thing.

OP here, thanks /prog/
This is something do with opening a file, modify the phrases in it with that the user requests (lots of methods) and save it in another file.
