New/strange Java “try()” syntax?

Question

While messing around with the custom formatting options in Eclipse, in one of the sample pieces of code, I saw code as follows:

/**
 * \'try-with-resources\'
 */         


        

Answer 1

That is called with a try with resources. in a try with resources, any kind of closable stream declared in the resources section will be closed after the try statement is done. So it pretty much is a

try{
InputStream is;
//Stuff
}finally{
is.close()
}
