If you are going to do this, you might as well generalize it to:
public class FileToString { public synchronized static String convert(File input) throws FileNotFoundException { String output = ""; String line = ""; StringBuffer content = new StringBuffer(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(input)); try { while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { content.append(line + "\n"); } reader.close(); } catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); content.append("ERROR: " + ioe.getMessage()); } finally { } return output = content.toString(); } } Or something similar?
