Hi All

I wonder if any one can help me with a problem?
I am using Eclipse, set up without the plug-in, just having the core.jar and other files in the build path as needed.
I was hoping to use a CSV parsing library, and have been exploring an example of how to use it and integrate into my project. All was going well until I wanted to modify the main public static void main(String[] args) method which has the line PApplet.main(new String[] { "BidsData" }); within it.

I wanted to have the following, which uses the format of the SuperCSV example found here http://supercsv.sourceforge.net/codeExamples_general.html

The problem is the use of the term Exception, to catch files that might not be there...

1. public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
           PApplet.main(new String[] { "BidsData" });
           ICsvBeanReader inFile = new CsvBeanReader(new FileReader("people.csv"), CsvPreference.EXCEL_PREFERENCE);
           try {
             final String[] header = inFile.getCSVHeader(true);
             UserBean user;
             while( (user = inFile.read(UserBean.class, header, userProcessors)) != null) {
               System.out.println(user.getZip());
             }
           } finally {
             inFile.close();
           }
      }

This use of Exception does not compile- and the cause is that I have the line needed to work with Processing in Eclipse

1. public class BidsData extends PApplet

If I take that 'extends PApplet' component out of that line, Eclipse permits the use of Exception- but then of course, I am not now working with the Processing core.

What might I do to keep the CSV file loading within this first method?
I have tried other forms of Exception, such as FileNotFoundException, to no avail?

Many thanks!
