CloseableResource is good, too. I have a mild preference for AutoCloseable, because it leaves open the possibility of blessing other AutoXxx classes in the future.

Yes, that could prove to be a handy naming pattern in the long term.

Maybe the name of the proposal is misleading, since not all resources can be managed automatically, just those that have a void close() method.

Agreed.

Thanks for the AutoCloseable idea; I like it a lot.
