Two reasons, perhaps?

1) He's learning Java and it is a code example (and a reasonably good one,
esp for string handling)

2) It may be more verbose, but it is far nearer plain english than that
command, and more understandable with less work...

Why use a long java program? I just used a unix command to do it.
Something like:

cat foo.bar | tr "[A-ZÅÄÖ]" "[a-zåäö]" | tr -d "\(\)\_\t" | tr "
0123456789\"\-\.\,\:\;\'\=\<\>\?\!\/\*\[\]" "\n" | sort | uniq -c | sort
