Description

All resources shoud implement the java.io.closable interface (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/Closeable.html) which is available since Java 1.5.

I found this when looking at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument the close method already has the same signature it should have. Just the interface is missing.

Once the interface is implemented you can use the new try-with-resource added to Java 1.7.
