Hi Martin, I have just raised https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8078654 and submitted (to this list) a patch for review which removes the unnecessary close function. It just needs 2 reviewers and a sponsor to commit.
I would be very grateful if someone from Oracle could pick this up and push it into jdk9/8/7. regards, Andrew Dinn ----------- Senior Principal Software Engineer Red Hat UK Ltd Registered in UK and Wales under Company Registration No. 3798903 Directors: Michael Cunningham (USA), Matt Parson (USA), Charlie Peters (USA), Michael O'Neill (Ireland)
