527 * finalized. The {@code finalize} method may take any action, including
528 * making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose
529 * of {@code finalize}, however, is to perform cleanup actions before
530 * the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method
531 * for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform
532 * explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is
533 * permanently discarded.
534 * <p>
535 * The {@code finalize} method of class {@code Object} performs no
536 * special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of
537 * {@code Object} may override this definition.
538 * <p>
539 * The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will
540 * invoke the {@code finalize} method for any given object. It is
541 * guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not
542 * be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is
543 * invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method,
544 * the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.
545 * <p>
546 * After the {@code finalize} method has been invoked for an object, no
547 * further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again
548 * determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can
549 * be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible
550 * actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized,
551 * at which point the object may be discarded.
552 * <p>
553 * The {@code finalize} method is never invoked more than once by a Java
554 * virtual machine for any given object.
555 * <p>
556 * Any exception thrown by the {@code finalize} method causes
557 * the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise
558 * ignored.
559 *
560 * @apiNote
561 * Classes that embed non-heap resources have many options
562 * for cleanup of those resources. The class must ensure that the
563 * lifetime of each instance is longer than that of any resource it embeds.
564 * {@link java.lang.ref.Reference#reachabilityFence} can be used to ensure that
565 * objects remain reachable while resources embedded in the object are in use.
566 * <p>
567 * A subclass should avoid overriding the {@code finalize} method
568 * unless the subclass embeds non-heap resources that must be cleaned up
569 * before the instance is collected.
570 * Finalizer invocations are not automatically chained, unlike constructors.
571 * If a subclass overrides {@code finalize} it must invoke the superclass
572 * finalizer explicitly.
573 * To guard against exceptions prematurely terminating the finalize chain,
574 * the subclass should use a {@code try-finally} block to ensure
575 * {@code super.finalize()} is always invoked. For example,
576 * {@snippet lang="java":
577 * @Override
578 * protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
579 * try {
580 * ... // cleanup subclass state
581 * } finally {
582 * super.finalize();
583 * }
584 * }
585 * }
586 *
587 * @deprecated Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a future
588 * release. The use of finalization can lead to problems with security,
589 * performance, and reliability.
590 * See <a href="https://openjdk.org/jeps/421">JEP 421</a> for
591 * discussion and alternatives.
592 * <p>
593 * Subclasses that override {@code finalize} to perform cleanup should use
594 * alternative cleanup mechanisms and remove the {@code finalize} method.
595 * Use {@link java.lang.ref.Cleaner} and
596 * {@link java.lang.ref.PhantomReference} as safer ways to release resources
597 * when an object becomes unreachable. Alternatively, add a {@code close}
598 * method to explicitly release resources, and implement
599 * {@code AutoCloseable} to enable use of the {@code try}-with-resources
600 * statement.
601 * <p>
602 * This method will remain in place until finalizers have been removed from
603 * most existing code.
