does this try-catch-with-resourcers autoclose?

Question

Does this try-catch-with-resources auto-close? It has a return in the body before it reaches the end. Will it still auto-close the stream?

    try (FileReader reader = new FileReader(characterFile)) {
        final SavedPlayer savedPlayer = GSON.fromJson(reader, SavedPlayer.class);

        return new Login(player, LoginType.SUCCESSFUL);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return new Login(player, LoginType.INPUT_FAILURE);
    }

AFAKI `try-with-resources` is somewhat like `try-finally`, where the close operation is guaranteed to always be executed — MadProgrammer, Sep 12 '15 at 01:30

Yes.

The try-with-resources Statement (Java Tutorials) reads (in part)

The try-with-resources statement ensures that each resource is closed at the end of the statement.

"is closed at the end of the statement" But there is a return before the end of the statement? – user2997204 Sep 12 '15 at 01:32
It doesn't matter, it's closed at the end of the statement (in that case the `return` **is** the *end of the statement*). – Elliott Frisch Sep 12 '15 at 01:33
