try {
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    String str = "";
    while (str != null) {
        System.out.print("> prompt ");
        str = in.readLine();
        process(str);
    }

this could be improved with

while ((str = bin.readLine()) != null) {
process(str);
}

since there will be no call of process() with null value.

I would like to know the need for the try/catch. Is there a way to crash a program using standard input?
