In my Java code, I start a new process, then obtain its input stream to read it:
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
FindBugs reports an error here:
may fail to close stream
Pattern id: OS_OPEN_STREAM, type: OS, category: BAD_PRACTICE
Must I close the InputStream of another process? And what's more, according to its Javadoc, InputStream#close() does nothing. So is this a false positive, or should I really close the input stream of the process when I'm done?
