Following up on myself, I found references on the expert group and the issue:
-
https://java.net/jira/browse/JPA_SPEC-77
It seems it's not being considered for JPA 2.2 as it would break
people on Java 6.

We updated several Hibernate APIs to allow using the
try-with-resources pattern a while back,
and I've been finding that quite handy.
Had to write some code using JPA's EntityManager these days; in
contrast it feels it's stuck somewhere between the stone age and the
dark ages to not be able to do the same.
Should we propose the same API fixes to the JPA expert group?
Thanks,
