Does a finally block always get executed in Java?

Answer 1

Yes, finally will be called after the execution of the try or catch code blocks. The only times finally won't be called are: If you invoke System.exit() If you invoke Runtime.getRuntime().halt(exitStatus) If the JVM crashes first If the JVM reaches an infinite loop (or some other non-interruptable, non-terminating statement) in the try or catch block If the OS forcibly terminates the JVM process; e.g., kill -9 on UNIX If the host system dies; e.g., power failure, hardware error, OS panic, et cetera If the finally block is going to be executed by a daemon thread and all other non-daemon threads exit before finally is called
