In general when I have determined that an exception is (as far as I know) not going to happen I rethrow a RuntimeException, so if the Exception really does happen at least the application falls over with a decent exception rather than doing something "suprising". (NB; i'm not the downvoter either)

@LuiggiMendoza in.close() requires also a try/catch.
