One simple addition you can do when moving to Java-7 is to add java.lang.AutoCloseable to any relevant classes that are not already java.io.Closeable, but still have resources that need to be cleaned up. Then users can then use them in try-with-resources (and IDE's can start warning about resource cleanups), even if the jxpath codebase doesn't internally change from the previous try pattern to try-with-resources immediately.
