About java.xml.stream: A XMLStreamReader is for example constructed with:

    BufferedReader br = ...;
    XMLStreamReader xsr = XMLInputFactory.newDefaultFactory().createXMLEventReader(br);

For my IDE this would look like XMLStreamReader wraps the BufferedReader, so it won't issue a warning if I don't close br.
But the Javadoc for XMLStreamReader.close() states:

> Frees any resources associated with this Reader. This method does not close the underlying input source.

If those classes would implement AutoCloseable, people and IDEs might wrongly assume that it would close the BufferedReader.
Which would result in code like this:

    try (var xsr = XMLInputFactory.newDefaultFactory().createXMLEventReader(Files.newBufferedReader(path, StandardCharsets.UTF_8))) {  ... }

And have a resource leak. Incidentally, that is the similar to the code I tried to write when I saw that XMLStreamReader has a public void close() method. So in my opinion, to let XMLStreamReader implement AutoCloseable, the specification of the close() method should be changed.

The same applies for the other XML Stream/Event Reader/Writer.

Thanks,
Johannes

I did not restrict my enumeration to public and exported types - it was easier not to do that and I'm lazy.
Most of the candidates that you've identified are JDK internal classes and there are several non-public classes in exported packages. There are also a few cases where the sub-classes of the likely candidate are showing up too (e.g. all the public sub-classes of java.util.logging.Handler). I skimmed through your list and filtered it down to the public classes in exported packages to following:

com/sun/jdi/connect/spi/Connection
java/awt/SplashScreen
java/util/logging/Handler
javax/naming/Context
javax/naming/NamingEnumeration
javax/naming/ldap/StartTlsResponse
javax/smartcardio/CardChannel
javax/sql/PooledConnection
javax/swing/ProgressMonitor
javax/xml/stream/XMLEventReader
javax/xml/stream/XMLEventWriter
javax/xml/stream/XMLStreamReader
javax/xml/stream/XMLStreamWriter

As Joe points out, some of these may have been looked at already. I was surprised to see the java.xml.stream reader/writers so it might be worth digging into those to see why they were not retrofitted.
