public class FileReader
extends InputStreamReader

This class provides a convenient way to set up a Reader to read from a file. It opens the specified file for reading and creates the InputStreamReader to read from the resulting FileInputStream. This class can only be used to read from files using the default character encoding. Use InputStreamReader directly to use a non-default encoding.
