File handle leak in MessageVetter
---------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-5480
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5480
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build tools
    Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Priority: Minor


MessageVetter, which is executed by the build script, contains the following 
code to load a message file:

        properties.load(new FileInputStream(file));

The FileInputStream isn't closed. Since MessageVetter runs embedded in the Ant 
process, file handles may be held open and cause problems later in the build. 
MessageVetter goes through more than 800 files, so the number of open file 
handles may be high when it has completed.

Even though FileInputStream has a finalize() method that calls close(), so the 
streams will be closed eventually, we should close the streams explicitly to 
release system resources as early as possible.
