Re: JDBC lint

JDBC lint does not fix JDBC driver use of finalization, instead it
informs users that they did not explicitly close a resource.  Users
explicitly closing allows the finalizer thread to quickly return if a
resource has already closed, instead of doing a heavyweight resource
deallocation.  This tends to have better behavior since the JVM has a
limited number of finalizer threads.
