 979      * try}-with-resources statement.
 980      *

 985      *
 986      * <p>Note that when one exception {@linkplain
 987      * #initCause(Throwable) causes} another exception, the first
 988      * exception is usually caught and then the second exception is
 989      * thrown in response.  In other words, there is a causal
 990      * connection between the two exceptions.
 991      *
 992      * In contrast, there are situations where two independent
 993      * exceptions can be thrown in sibling code blocks, in particular
 994      * in the {@code try} block of a {@code try}-with-resources
 995      * statement and the compiler-generated {@code finally} block
 996      * which closes the resource.
 997      *
 998      * In these situations, only one of the thrown exceptions can be
 999      * propagated.  In the {@code try}-with-resources statement, when
1000      * there are two such exceptions, the exception originating from
1001      * the {@code try} block is propagated and the exception from the
1002      * {@code finally} block is added to the list of exceptions
