Brian Stansberry created WFCORE-4257: ---------------------------------------- Summary: Eliminate finalizers in the core codebase Key: WFCORE-4257 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-4257 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Management, Server Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assignee: Brian Stansberry The Object.finalize() method was deprecated in Java 9 and use of PhantomReference instead is recommended for cases where simply relying on code to invoke a close() method is insufficient. So, let's get rid of the 3 finalizers in the WF Core codebase. Use the PhantomReference utility stuff in wildfly-common. That lib is already a dependency of the code that has the various finalize() impls. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.12.1#712002)
