It looks pretty clean, but it would be good to get another pair of eyes on this since there is sometimes great subtlety in java.lang.

My comments below.

AutoCloseable.java --

    java/lang/AutoCloseable.java:34: warning: [try] auto-closeable
    resource AutoCloseable has a member method close() that could
    throw InterruptedException

The warning here is kind of silly. The intent is to warn implementors of AutoCloseable not to throw InterruptedException. But this is an interface, not an implementation, and it's the AutoCloseable interface itself! We may want to rethink when the compiler emits this warning, instead of suppressing the warning in source code. Joe, what do you think about this?


Yes, I think the better technical approach is to have javac check to see if its compiling AutoCloseable.
