Is that advice no longer correct? Like most general rules there are exceptions. Arguably, this is one of them. The alternative would require an awful lot of code to replicate what the JVM is already doing. I believe there are better options available in Java 9. > I'm particularly concerned about native memory leaks. The argument against finalizers is that they might never run as the JVM could shutdown before they are called. In this case, that doesn't present a problem. We'd have a problem if an object could be GC'd without the finializer running. I'm not aware of any scenarios where that happens.
