== Why is this an issue?
The contract of the ``++Object.finalize()++`` method is clear: only the Garbage Collector is supposed to call this method.
Making this method public is misleading, because it implies that any caller can use it.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
public class MyClass {
@Override
public void finalize() { // Noncompliant
/* ... */
}
}
