Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit has been deprecated since 1.2 (1998) and deprecated for removal in JDK 9. We analyzed the maven central artifacts few years ago that show very few uses of it. I also survey a recent version of most of the maven artifacts that references runFinalizatsOnExit no longer references it. I propose to remove Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit and System.runFinalizersOnExit methods in JDK 11.
