CS.EMPTY.CATCH

Nothing is written in a catch block. If you catch an exception, it is better to process it than ignore it.

Example 1

1  class FileHandler {
2      public void Open(String name) {
3          try {
4              // opening file ...
5          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {   // defect - no statements in the 'catch' clause
6          }
7      }
8  }
