Well I hope you they invent the API
`System.onJVMExit( ExitNotifiable myIWannaBeNotifiedAtExitObject )'
Otherwise how can we be sure that resources are released
when the JVM exits. That temporary file creating utility
object class will be soon redundant then, won't it?
( I guess this also touches my Can Java catch signals
post a couple moons ago. )

I don't know if it works in the blackdown port.
I only know that the problem with running finalizers is that they get
called sequencely and that leads to problems, because in a complex
reference structure they shouldn't get called sequencely but depending
on the structure, but that's very difficult if not impossible in most
cases, therefore I guess they don't want to allow it anymore.
That's what I think, correct me.
