Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4242:
-----------------------------------------
Surprisingly, phantomreference is not mentioned in "Effective Java". However I
don't see how it would help:
[http://mindprod.com/jgloss/phantom.html]
"Lets you clean up after finalization but before the space is reclaimed
(replaces or augments the use of finalize())"
So it brings the same troubles: we don't know if an object will ever be
finalized. If there is enough memory, it might never be finalized.
Re "As you can't use Guava" - indeed, it needs jdk8.
Is there anything in your opinion that speaks against doing what I wrote in
the second and last paragraph of my previous comment?

> Key: PDFBOX-4242
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4242
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FontBox
> Affects Versions: 2.0.9
> Reporter: Glen Peterson
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: file_leak
>
> My app has been getting "java.io.FileNotFoundException (No file descriptors
> available)" and I've confirmed that it's because fontbox isn't closing it's
> file descriptors.
> In org.apache.fontbox.ttf.TTFParser there's this method:
> {{public TrueTypeFont parse(File ttfFile) throws IOException {}}
> {{ RAFDataStream raf = new RAFDataStream(ttfFile, "r");}}
> {{ try {}}
> {{ return this.parse((TTFDataStream)raf);}}
> {{ } catch (IOException var4) {}}
> {{ // close only on error (file is still being accessed later)}}
> {{ raf.close();}}
> {{ throw var4;}}
> {{}}}
> {{}}}
> I would have expected to see the close() in a finally block so that the file
> is always closed, not just on exceptions. Presumably, you can keep it in
> memory without leaving the file descriptor open?
> {{public TrueTypeFont parse(File ttfFile) throws IOException {}}
> {{ RAFDataStream raf = new RAFDataStream(ttfFile, "r");}}
> {{ try {}}
> {{ return this.parse((TTFDataStream)raf);}}
> {{ } catch (IOException var4) {}}{{ raf.close();}}
> {{ throw var4;}}
> {{ } finally {}}
> {{ raf.close();}}
> {{}}}
> {{}}}
> I tried performing this in a lazy initialization, but it blew up:
> java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: The TrueType font null does
> not contain a 'cmap' tableCaused by: java.io.IOException: The TrueType font
> null does not contain a 'cmap' table

> Thanks for PDFBox - it's been really helpful!
