Java does not guarantee that finalizers run,
I believe this is correct. There is no guarantee that garbage collection will run, or will run on a given object. But I believe the following is mistaken
and it certainly does not guarantee that they will run before Java decides to garbage collect that object.
I believe there is a guarantee that the finalize() method will be called on an object before it is garbage collected (IF it is garbage collected).
