Three steps:

1. cp Runtime.java Runtime.java.bak
2. make changes to Runtime.java
3. type "diff -u Runtime.java.bak Runtime.java"

Alternatively, if you backup complete trees, you do a "diff -ru oldtree newtree"

I think they're supposed to be closed either if you close them explicitly
or, absent that, within the finalizer of the stream.  That is, you won't
see them getting closed unless a gc happens; which is either triggered
by a memory allocation or when you call System.gc().
