Does a finally block always get executed in Java?

Question

Considering this code, can I be absolutely sure that the finally block always executes, no matter what something() is?

try         


        

Answer 1

Concisely, in the official Java Documentation (Click here), it is written that -

If the JVM exits while the try or catch code is being executed, then the finally block may not execute. Likewise, if the thread executing the try or catch code is interrupted or killed, the finally block may not execute even though the application as a whole continues.
