I have a query from the javagaming site that I'd appreciate some advice on. The person is writing a loader that loads a binary file format (Quake 3 md3 files). The Loader interface includes a method that takes a Reader instance. Obviously, the Reader and binary file formats do not mix.
What is the collective wisdom on the correct response from his loader implementation when this method is called? Should it throw a generic IOException or do something more tricky? -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/ Freelance Java Consultant http://www.yumetech.com/ Author, Java 3D FAQ Maintainer http://www.j3d.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Humanism is dead.
