+Empty Catch Block, will find instances where an exception is caught,
+but nothing is done.  In most circumstances, this swallows an exception
+which should either be acted on or reported.

+Empty While Statement, will find all instances where a while statement
+does nothing.  If it is a timing loop, then you should use Thread.sleep() for it; if
+it's a while loop that does a lot in the exit expression, rewrite it to make it clearer.
