Object.finalize() is called by the Garbage Collector sometime after the object became unreferenced.

Overloading this method is misleading:

  The overloaded method will not be called by the Garbage Collector.
  Users are not expected to call Object.finalize() and will get confused.


Another name should be picked for the method.

The following code:

public void finalize(int someParameter) {        // Non-Compliant
  /* ... */
}


should be refactored into:

public void someBetterName(int someParameter) {  // Compliant
  /* ... */
}
