Answer 1

If you want to read the file line by line, but skip the first line, I suggest you do

Files.lines(Paths.get("yourfile"))
     .skip(1)
     .forEach(...);

Note that this solution relies on an API that was added in Java 8 (released March last year), so if you haven't upgraded yet, you may want to do so.
