Resolution: Duplicate
Sorry, this was a duplicate due to very slow response of the JIRA.
> LineIterator should call close on itself when hasNext() returns false. (was
> IO-123)

> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Reporter: Hannes H.
> Priority: Minor
>
> As in IO-123 described the LineIterator should call close when hasNext()
> returns false.
> One mentioned reason against this behavior was the fact, that in case of a
> thrown Exception in the code block under the Iterator will never be closed.
> In my opinion this argumentation is not valid, because in the current
> implementation the developer as well needs to take care to close the iterator
> in case of an Exception, so the responsibility does not change.
> To not brake existing implementations I suggest to overload the methods with
> an additional boolean argument which enables an auto-close.
> I know, one should read the documentation before using a library, but in my
> opinion the current behavior - not closing when hasNext() returns false - is
> not expected at all, at least for me.
