Overriding the ``++Object.finalize()++`` method must be done with caution to dispose some system resources.
Calling the ``++super.finalize()++`` at the end of this method implementation is highly recommended in case parent implementations must also dispose some system resources.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
protected void finalize() { // Noncompliant; no call to super.finalize();
releaseSomeResources();
}
protected void finalize() {
super.finalize(); // Noncompliant; this call should come last
releaseSomeResources();
}
----
== Compliant Solution
----
protected void finalize() {
releaseSomeResources();
super.finalize();
}
----
