JDK-8003120 - ResourceManager.getApplicationResources() does not close InputStreams
Description
8003120 adds a new line

   InputStream istream = (InputStream)resources.next();

but resources is already of type NamingEnumeration<InputStream>.

Building now shows

../../../src/share/classes/com/sun/naming/internal/ResourceManager.java:563: warning: [cast] redundant cast to InputStream
                        InputStream istream = (InputStream)resources.next();

There could be more enhancement, but build failure must be fixed asap. 1. It should attempt to close all resources even an IOException is thrown during close. 2. In fact, it looks like the resources object here is of type InputStreamEnumeration (in com/sun/naming/internal/VersionHelper12.java), with an open-on-nextElement style. This means we can completely remove the while (resources.hasMore()) block.
