In finalize() method statement written after the call to superclass finalize() method will execute?

Question

In finalize() method the statement written after the call to superclass finalize() method will execute or not?

Unless, of course, an exception is thrown during finalization of the superclass. In that case, as [javadocs](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#finalize()) stated, it just will be ignored. — , Jul 01 '15 at 06:24
...Why are you using `finalize`? You're not guaranteed that it will be executed. Ever. — Makoto, Jul 01 '15 at 06:25
@Makoto I believe OP's informed about that, but trying to understand the behavior. — , Jul 01 '15 at 06:27
First try it by your self. Just Don't raise your non-experimented queries. — Harshit Gupta, Jul 01 '15 at 07:21

Not necessarily. An exception might be thrown. But you shouldn't have any code after that anyway. The correct form is:

protected void finalize() throws Throwable
{
    try
    {
        // your code here ...
    }
    finally
    {
        super.finalize();
    }
}
