FI: Explicit invocation of finalizer (FI_EXPLICIT_INVOCATION)


FI: Explicit invocation of finalizer (FI_EXPLICIT_INVOCATION)
 This method contains an explicit invocation of the finalize()
  method on an object.  Because finalizer methods are supposed to be
  executed once, and only by the VM, this is a bad idea.
If a connected set of objects beings finalizable, then the VM will invoke the
finalize method on all the finalizable object, possibly at the same time in different threads.
Thus, it is a particularly bad idea, in the finalize method for a class X, invoke finalize
on objects referenced by X, because they may already be getting finalized in a separate thread.
