This doesn't work in Safari for Mac... It's ok with Firefox though.

neato!

I don't understand why this file-reading-is-difficult-in-java mantra comes again and again. Whilst it is true that reading a file line-by-line is might be easier in other languages, it is not that difficult in Java. Write the code a couple of time to fix it in your memory, setup your IDE to a shortcut or do whatever else to make it quicker and you're done.
What if the same amount of buzz was dedicated to the strengths of Java (dead easy multithreading or network programming, cross-platform GUIs...)
Anyway it seems that Java-bashing is the hype du jour. Sorry guys, I won't fall into that one :)

Sorry my comment above obviously belongs to another thread. I should have asked for an extra shot in my coffee this morning :)
