You likely forgot to update the referenced JRE classes on your build path. My bet is that because you aren't using the JDK 7 libraries but rather are still referencing the old libraries. In java 7, you MUST have Autocloseable implemented for all input/output streams. Try to change your referenced classes to the most updated classes possible if you're going to be building against JDK .7.

Edit: If you are using Eclipse...

To change this: Go to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JRE's and be sure you're pointing to the proper JDK.
