------------------------------------

             Summary: Use try-with-resources internally now that Java 7 is required
                 Key: PIVOT-968
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-968
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core-io, core-serialization, wtk, wtk-terra
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
            Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.1


Java 7 introduced a "try-with-resources" statement that automatically calls the "close()" method for resources that implement the (new) AutoCloseable interface, which includes most/all I/O related objects, and more.  Pivot could benefit internally with more readable / maintainable code using this construct.  Since Java 7 is now required for the 2.1 (and later) releases, this is a reasonable step to upgrade the code internally (see PIVOT-895).
