== Why is this an issue?

Java 7's try-with-resources structure automatically handles closing the resources that the ``++try++`` itself opens. Thus, adding an explicit ``++close()++`` call is redundant and potentially confusing.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java]
----
try (PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(process.getOutputStream())) {
  String contents = file.contents();
  writer.write(new Gson().toJson(new MyObject(contents)));
  writer.flush();
  writer.close();  // Noncompliant
}
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,java]
----
try (PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(process.getOutputStream())) {
  String contents = file.contents();
  writer.write(new Gson().toJson(new MyObject(contents)));
  writer.flush();
}

=== Message

Remove this "close" call; closing the resource is handled automatically by the try-with-resources.


=== Highlighting

``++close()++``
