Description

Java 7 introduced a "try-with-resources" statement that automatically calls the "close()" method for resources that implement the (new) AutoCloseable interface, which includes most/all I/O related objects, and more. Pivot could benefit internally with more readable / maintainable code using this construct. Since Java 7 is now required for the 2.1 (and later) releases, this is a reasonable step to upgrade the code internally (see PIVOT-895).
