Instead of writing: try ( Resource r = new Resource() ) { r.doSomething(); } You would write: final Resource r = new Resource(); r.doSomething(); This is so much more Java like than the block construct
There is room for disagreement here. We discussed this extensively at Google when I drafted the proposal, and we ended up eschewing a declaration-based approach because there was general agreement that it was much less Java-like to imbue the closing bracket with such "magical powers."
