Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

I looked in the source code for the java.io.FileInputStream (as an example) to see if Java's file classes use the finalize() method. They do./*** Ensures that the <code>close</code> method of this file input stream is* called when there are no more references to it. * * @exception IOException if an I/O error occurs. * @see java.io.FileInputStream#close() */ protected void finalize() throws IOException { if (fd != null) { if (fd != fd.in) { close(); } } }So I don't yet know what Josh Bloch's book says specifically, but Sun uses the finalize method in the actual Java code.Sincerely, Bob Simons Satellite Data Product Manager Environmental Research Division NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center 1352 Lighthouse Ave Pacific Grove, CA 93950-2079 (831)648-0272 bob.simons@xxxxxxxx <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><
