Okay, so DrJava's console is giving me the warning "Resource leak: 'manager' is never closed"

Is this something i should worry about? And why is this occurring? I don't ever remember this happening before when using stdIn

IDEs (and obviously DrJava) are programmed to notice readers, writers, etc., which are not closed. If you open a reader pointing to a file and never close it, the file may become inaccessible to other code, we hope temporarily. So they give you a warning, which you can overlook. Try opening and closing a Scanner pointing to System.in and you will find out why you should ignore such warnings whenever System.in System.out and System.err are involved.
