I looked at the suggestion for Gen.    The code has been partially 
cleaned up in this area, such that the catch block is now dead code. So 
there isn't an "efficiency" argument to be made here, but I agree that 
cleaning up the dead code (and the dead exception which appears to no 
longer be thrown) would be a good idea.

I looked at the suggestion for Code, and the inconsistent use of 
System.out and System.err.  I think a good fix here would be to declare 
a single local variable to specify the stream to which all the printing 
in that method should be done.
