finalize( ) method of the Object Class. Posted: Jan 5, 2003 9:19 PM

Hi All,

I have a query regarding the finalize method in the Object Class. The finalize( ) method is declared as protected. And this finalize method is called by the garbage collector residing in the JVM.

Since the garbage collector resides in JVM, shouldn't the finalize method be declared as public.

Please help me for the same.

Regards
Goyal
