I think you typed the above statement wrongly... It should be the finalize() method of the "discarded" (actually transition from reachable/unfinalized state to finalizer-reachable/finalizable state) object that is called, not the referencing (no longer any reference, btw) objects. I assume it was an honest mistake (or you need to be sent back to Java Torture School ;o) ).
