I look at Java code and it horrifies me. Java is great if your resource is memory. It turns into a horrible unsafe mess the moment your resources are not memory.

  //C++ RAII goodness.
  void foo()
  {
  	conn.open();
  	file.open();
  	printer.activate();
  	//do stuff
  }
  
  //Java's lack of RAII is disturbing
  void foo()
  {
  	try{
  		conn.open();
  		file.open();
  		printer.activate();
  		//do stuff
  	}
  	catch(Exception e) { }
  	finally{
  		try {
  			conn.close();
  		}
  		catch(Exception ee) {}
  		finally{
  			try {
  				file.close();
  			}
  			catch(Exception eee) {}
  			finally {
  				try{
  					printer.close();
  				}
  				catch(Exceptoin eeee) {}
  			}
  		}
  	}
  }
