How is the termination of objects most often implemented in Java?

In Java, the management of object finalization is usually done using the finalize() method, which is called by the garbage collector before an object is removed. However, starting with Java 9, this method is considered deprecated and is not recommended for use due to unpredictable invocation timing and performance issues.

The modern approach is to use the AutoCloseable interface and the try-with-resources statement for explicit resource release:

class Resource implements AutoCloseable {
    public void close() {
        // resource release
        System.out.println("Resource closed");
    }
}

try (Resource res = new Resource()) {
    // work with the resource
}
// res.close() is automatically called here

Thus, the termination of objects, especially those managing resources, is implemented through explicit closing rather than finalize().
