mbien opened a new issue, #5440: URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5440
### Body the finalization mechanism is deprecated for removal. NetBeans is still using it occasionally. Usage must be replaced with alternatives like for example the Java 9 [Cleaner API](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/ref/Cleaner.html) where needed. JDP: https://openjdk.org/jeps/421 there is a command line flag which simplifies testing during the transition period: ``` Finalization remains enabled by default in JDK 18. A new command-line option --finalization=disabled disables finalization. A JVM launched with --finalization=disabled will not run any finalizers — not even those declared within the JDK itself. ``` ### Committer - [X] I acknowledge that I am a maintainer/committer in the Apache NetBeans project. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
