The webrev for deprecating finalize has been updated:- to improve the advice existing JDK subclasses overriding finalize provides in @deprecated javadoc, - to expand Object.finalize() javadoc to reinforce the correct use of super.finalize() by subclasses,
- and to remove redundant @SuppressWarnings annotations.
Please review and comment. Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rriggs/webrev-finalize-deprecate-8165641/ Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8165641 Thanks, Roger
