So we've discussed this in the past as a project and we've chosen not to do this. Jena is a project with a long history that predates many modern Java features, e.g. `AutoCloseable`, and with a large user base with widely varying technical literacy. While this may seem like a trivial change, making it will immediately litter every consumer of Jena's codebase's with huge numbers of warnings. Not to mention the internals of Jena itself, because as a set of libraries often we are passing back references to these `Closeable` objects and expecting API consumers to handle closure suitably. That's not to say that this change will never happen but it would most likely be part of a major version bump and potentially combined with more wider cleanup of some of the legacy aspects of the codebase -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
