Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.

On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.

Close

Connections, streams, files, and other classes that implement the Closeable interface or its super-interface, AutoCloseable, needs to be closed after use. Further, that close call must be made in a finally block otherwise an exception could keep the call from being made. Preferably, when class implements AutoCloseable, resource should be created using "try-with-resources" pattern and will be closed automatically.

Failure to properly close resources will result in a resource leak which could bring first the application and then perhaps the box the application is on to their knees.

Instances of the following classes are ignored by this rule because close has no effect:

• java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream
• java.io.ByteArrayInputStream
• java.io.CharArrayReader

• java.io.StringWriter

Java 7 introduced the try-with-resources statement, which implicitly closes Closeables. All resources opened in a try-with-resources statement are ignored by this rule.

try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName))) {

Close

Connections, streams, files, and other classes that implement the Closeable interface or its super-interface, AutoCloseable, needs to be closed after use. Further, that close call must be made in a finally block otherwise an exception could keep the call from being made. Preferably, when class implements AutoCloseable, resource should be created using "try-with-resources" pattern and will be closed automatically.

Failure to properly close resources will result in a resource leak which could bring first the application and then perhaps the box the application is on to their knees.

Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.

On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
