difference between try catch and try with resources

1// It was introduced because of some resources used in Java 
2// (like SQL connections or streams being difficult to be handled 
3// properly; as an example, in java 6 to handle a InputStream 
4// properly you had to do something like:
5
6InputStream stream = new MyInputStream(...);
7try {
8    // ... use stream
9} catch(IOException e) {
10   // handle exception
11} finally {
12    try {
13        if(stream != null) {
14            stream.close();
15        }
16    } catch(IOException e) {
17        // handle yet another possible exception
18    }
19}
20// Do you notice that ugly double try? now with try-with-resources 
21// you can do this:
22
23try (InputStream stream = new MyInputStream(...)){
24    // ... use stream
25} catch(IOException e) {
26   // handle exception
27}
28
29// and close() is automatically called, if it throws an IOException, 
30// it will be supressed (as specified in the Java Language 
31// Specification 14.20.3). Same happens for java.sql.Connection
