  // TODO: Currently we throw up to 400 ReaderExceptions while scanning a single 240x240 image before
  // rejecting it. This involves a lot of overhead and memory allocation, and affects both performance
  // and latency on continuous scan clients. In the future, we should change all the decoders not to
  // throw exceptions for routine events, like not finding a barcode on a given row. Instead, we
  // should return error codes back to the callers, and simply delete this class. In the mean time, I
  // have altered this class to be as lightweight as possible, by ignoring the exception string, and
  // by disabling the generation of stack traces, which is especially time consuming. These are just
  // temporary measures, pending the big cleanup.

  //
  // 1. Uncomment these lines and the code below which uses them.
  // 2. Uncomment the two corresponding lines in j2se/CommandLineRunner.decode()
  // 3. Change core to build as Java 1.5 temporarily
