My code is:
InputStream confFile=classLoader.getResourceAsStream("myconffile.properties");
In docs:
The close method of InputStream does nothing.
Does it mean that I don’t need close InputStream?

You do need to close the input Stream, because the stream returned by the method you mention is actually FileInputStream or some other subclass of
InputStreamthat holds a handle for a file. If you do not close this stream you have resource leakage.
