Currently using version 2.7.  We are trying to upgrade to a later version now, 
but are running into some problems that we need to sort through.

Since I posted this, we've found that the problem we're seeing (resources not 
being closed) is intermittent, so we are no longer convinced that it's a result 
of isThisType not closing the file.  It just seemed like that because we put a 
close in after and things worked... for a while.  It was most likely a 
coincidence.  It may be something we're doing.  I'm not sure at this time.

Hi Sarah,

Which version of HDF-Java are you using and what platform are you on?
Thanks!

I've recently discovered that the 
https://www.hdfgroup.org/products/java/hdf-java-html/javadocs/ncsa/hdf/object/FileFormat.html#isThisType(java.lang.String)
 method opens the file that is being checked and doesn't close it.... or so it 
seems to me, at least.  The documentation (Javadoc) for this method doesn't say 
this and it took some debugging to figure out why I had open resources.  Can 
the documentation be updated to reflect this, to spare others the same problem 
in the future?

Thanks,
Sarah
