    In principle you should avoid finalizers. Although a little dated this article tells you why. See "finalizers are not your friend",

    This is true. Don't count on yourself being smarter about releasing resources than the JVM. I'm guessing that while with 1.6 and soon to be 1.7 calling finalize on an object may not be as expensive of a call, it's analogous to calling System.gc(); <-- you better have a very good reason as to why you are doing that.

    The main problem is that there's no guarantee when - if ever - the finalizer will be called, so there's little point doing anything important there anyway.

    Less is more...
