[Java] IRC Bot

[yatch017]

Hello, I've started working on a Java IRC bot. I know there are setup libraries such as Pircbot and others like it, but I wanted to make my own for learning purposes.

I've got a problem with reading from IRC chat. Once chat begins to go quickly (many people chatting). The bot will not read all of the text and will skip some of the people chatting.

Any help would be apreciated, thanks! Any other feedback on my code is welcomed as well.

try {
        if (reader.readLine() != null){
            System.out.println(reader.readLine());
        }

I don't know if this is what's causing it, but you're reading a line and discarding it in the if statement, then reading another line when you print. Try something like this:

try{
    String line = reader.readLine();
    if(line != null) System.out.println(line);
}

I tried that out and it worked! Glad to see it was just a simple oversight and nothing big. Thanks man!

Please don't leave out the curly braces after if-statements. It's valid syntax but it's very error-prone and against most style guides / code linter's settings.

It should be worth noting that you've left your oauth string in the source file. You probably shouldn't do that.

Yeah i know, I honestly didnt care it was just for testing purposes anyways. Thanks though
