@Cleanup File InputStream Cleanups with lombok

You can use @Cleanup to ensure a given resource is automatically cleaned up before the code execution path exits your current scope. You do this by annotating any local variable declaration with the @Cleanup annotation like so: @Cleanup InputStream in = new FileInputStream("some/file"); As a result, at the end of the scope you're in, in.close() is called. This call is guaranteed to run by way of a try/finally construct. Look at the example below to see how this works.

import lombok.Cleanup;
import java.io.*;

public class CleanupExample {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    @Cleanup InputStream in = new FileInputStream(args[0]);
    @Cleanup OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(args[1]);
    byte[] b = new byte[10000];
    while (true) {
      int r = in.read(b);
      if (r == -1) break;
      out.write(b, 0, r);
    }
  }
}
