Why I get 'Resource leak: '<unassigned Closeable value>' ' error even when I use close() method in Java?

Why I get 'Resource leak: '' ' error even when I use close() method in Java?

I put the whole code and used comments where about where I get the error message and where I close the Scanner method.

I use Eclipse, Java 13.

Here's the code.

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

public class VehicleTest {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      VehicleTest vtest = new VehicleTest();
    try {
      vtest.menuLoop();
    } catch(IOException e) {
      System.out.println("IO Exception!");
      System.exit(1);
    } catch(CloneNotSupportedException e) {
      System.out.println("CloneNotSupportedException");
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  private void menuLoop() throws IOException, CloneNotSupportedException {
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    ArrayList<Vehicle> arr=new ArrayList<Vehicle>();
    Vehicle vehicle;

/** Deleted the hard coded adds so it doesn't add same types of cars
 *  everytime
 */

    java.io.File file = new java.io.File("Vehicles.txt");
    Scanner in = new Scanner(file).useLocale(Locale.US);
    in.useDelimiter(",");    //** This is where I get the resource leak error message **//
    while (in.hasNext()) {
        try {
              String vehClass = in.next();                
              Class veh1 = Class.forName(vehClass);
            Vehicle veh = (Vehicle)veh1.
                    getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance();
            arr.add(veh);
            veh.readData(in);
        } catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.print("Exception");
            System.exit(0);

        in.close();  //* **in.close() method is here**
        output.close();
        System.exit(0);
      default:
        System.out.println("Wrong input!");
      }
    }
  }
}

Even when I put in.close() inside the try block, it still shows the same error.

And it still shows the same error even when I put in.close() right after.

Why is it that?

There are code paths where the resource is not closed. Either use a finally block, or a try-with-resources. Like,

try (Scanner in = new Scanner(file).useLocale(Locale.US)) {
    in.useDelimiter(",");
    while (in.hasNext()) {
        try {
            String vehClass = in.next();                
            Class veh1 = Class.forName(vehClass);
            Vehicle veh = (Vehicle)veh1.
                    getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance();
            arr.add(veh);
            veh.readData(in);
        } catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.print("Exception");
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }
}
