“Convert to try-with-resources” in Netbeans - Cool Beans?

Question

I have the following code in Netbeans 7.1.2:

BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(filename));
bos.write(newRawData);
bos.         


        

Answer 1

This was a new syntax that was introduced in Java 7, which takes care of closing any resources you specify when declaring the try(...) statement. More info can be found here.
So no, you don't have to do a bos.close(), it is performed by Java. You can just sit back and relax.
The only downside is that your code works with Java 7+ only.
