Does Java have a using statement?

Question

Does Java have a using statement that can be used when opening a session in hibernate?

In C# it is something like:

using (var session = new Session()         


        

Answer 1

Since Java 7 it does: http://blogs.oracle.com/darcy/entry/project_coin_updated_arm_spec

The syntax for the code in the question would be:

try (Session session = new Session())
{
  // do stuff
}

Note that Session needs to implement AutoClosable or one of its (many) sub-interfaces.
