investigate, if using java.nio would improve metrics-lib

see Oracle NIO in J7

added component::metrics/library owner::karsten priority::low resolution::duplicate severity::minor status::closed type::enhancement labels

also include try-with-resources and multiple exceptions.

Wait, these are different issues, right? Switching to java.nio would have been possible prior to Java 7, right? And it's probably a non-trivial project to try that out, as compared to try-with-resources and multiple exceptions which are basically code clean-ups. Should we split up this ticket into one for java.nio (not a child of #17822 (moved)) and one for try-with-resources and multiple exceptions (child of #17822 (moved))?

Replying to karsten:

Wait, these are different issues, right? Yes.

... Should we split up this ticket into one for java.nio (not a child of #17822 (moved)) and one for try-with-resources and multiple exceptions (child of #17822 (moved))? Yes, except that both should be under #17822 (moved). There were some changes to nio in java7 that are imporant here. But, as long as that is investigated it could be without the parent.

I removed the parent, b/c all the other ticket regarding java 7 are completed and released (afaict).

Ticket #20395 (moved) is going to use NIO. This ticker was meant as a placeholder and now there is a concrete issue. Closing. Please re-open, if I missed anything.
