Reports any Socket resource which is not safely closed in a finally block. Such resources may be inadvertently leaked if an exception is thrown before the resource is closed. Socket resources reported by this inspection include java.net.Socket, java.net.DatagramSocket, and java.net.ServerSocket.

Use the first checkbox below to specify if a Socket is allowed to be opened inside a try' block. This style is less desirable because it is more verbose than opening a Socket in front of a try block.

Use the second checkbox below to specify that the inspection should not warn if a Socket is passed as a method call argument. If enabled the inspection assumes the Socket is closed in the called method. Method calls inside a finally block with close in the name and a Socket argument will not be ignored.
