What about the following:


private boolean closed;

public void close() throws IOException {
     try (OutputStream ostream = out) {
         if (!closed)  flush();
     }
     closed = true;
}


...this way the impact of the change is minimal and still addresses the 
problem of JDK-8054565 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8054565>.

If either flush() or out.close() throw exception the 1st time close() is 
called, they will both be called also the 2nd time. Only after flush() 
and out.close() return successfully, then further flush() invocations 
are suppressed.

The alternative would be to not suppress flush() invocations, but just 
any exception thrown from flush():


     private boolean closed;

     public void close() throws IOException {
         try (OutputStream ostream = out) {
             try {
                 flush();
             } catch (IOException | RuntimeException | Error e) {
                 if (!closed) throw e;
             }
         }
         closed = true;
     }


But I don't know if this is better or worse. It certainly could still be 
squeezed under the spec which says:

      * The <code>close</code> method of <code>FilterOutputStream</code>
      * calls its <code>flush</code> method, and then calls the
      * <code>close</code> method of its underlying output stream.
