Reports try-finally statements that can use Java 7 Automatic Resource Management, which is less error-prone.

A quick-fix is available to convert a try-finally statement into a try-with-resources statement.

Example:

PrintStream printStream = new PrintStream(fileName);
  try {
    printStream.print(true);
  } finally {
    printStream.close();
  }

A quick-fix is provided to pass the cause to a constructor:

try (PrintStream printStream = new PrintStream(fileName)) {
    printStream.print(true);
  }
