Implementing the finalize method just for printing should be avoided. If you
implement it, there will be an instance of Finalizer class per every object
(if I remember it correctly). In http://java.sun.com/docs/books/performance/
it is said "The only thing that can be said for certain is that adding a
finalizer will extend the lifetime of an object". I can recommend that book
and the OptimizeIt software.

thanks for the correction. Lazyness is always awkward.

One step further would be
protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
try {
// your code / print outs
}
catch ( Throwable e ) {
// we are lucky having our own exception caught and we get feedback
e.printStackTrace();
}
// this is very important, never forget it. The super class could free
memory of native code
super.finalize();}
}

You too!
