I don't recall anyone accusing you of being snarky.

I did this same project in Python and it took me nowhere near the time 
it is taking me in Java.

Python is a great programming environment.
Java is a great programming environment.

I guess it's my naive belief that a programmer should be able to reuse 
someone's code
without spending as much time studying it as it would to just write my own.

> 3)  As for the SSCCE, I don't know what more I can give you.
Like I said before in my first post, you have all the code I've wrote,
save the import statements and class declaration,
which I didn't include because I was trying to adhere to SSCCE.

Ill ask again. What does .getEnclosures() return?
Have you found the Javadocs.
Javadocs are the key to programming with Java libraries.
What happens when you:
System.out.println(new ArrayList<String>());

In the code you provided you reference:
SyndFeed
SyndFeedInput
SyndEntry
What are these classes, what method do they expose?
I don't need to know, you do.
getEnclosures()
presumably there is an Enclosure class.
Does it provide a getScent() method?
The Javadocs will answer.
Study the Collections API. You can google it.
Study Java Generics, and her relation to the Collections API. You can 
google it.
