Upstream: google/google-java-format#1454
Kind: idea | Priority: low

Open PR google-java-format#1454 (fixes gjf issue google-java-format#1392): with two or more resources the first resource stays
glued to try (, and a trailing ; in the source yields ...; ) {. The PR forces a break
after ( for multi-resource statements, puts each resource on its own line, and closes
the indent before ) so it renders at the try indentation. Single-resource try is
unchanged. Golden files B21465217/B26159561/TryWithResources change.

Why it matters to us: our visitTry is the same pre-fix code (same plusFour open, same
handling of a trailing ; followed by builder.space() before )), so we produce the
same ; ) artifact. The layout part is a style decision; the trailing-semicolon part is a
plain wart.

Affected files in our repo:

• open-java-format/src/main/java/com/palantir/javaformat/java/JavaInputAstVisitor.java (visitTry, around line 1931-1974)
• try-with-resources test data under open-java-format/src/test/resources/com/palantir/javaformat/java/testdata/

Suggested action: investigate. At minimum consider dropping the trailing ; / space before
); adopt the full layout change only if it matches what we want for PALANTIR style
(it changes existing output, see README note on output changes). Watch upstream review.

Filed from an upstream-watch ticket after manual review.
