Description
In an effort to make sure that the code is stable and doesn't get small bugs, lets try to move most (not all) of the code into Java. We should also adapt the code to match java8 style.
Some things to consider:
[ ] - Using Files and Paths vs File
[ ] - Using try with resource
[ ] - Doing multi catches
