TIOBE - Java Coding Standard

Rule: Finalizer3

Synopsis:	Finalize methods should not be overloaded
Language:	Java
Severity Level:	1
Category:	Finalizer

Description:

Methods named finalize() should not have parameters. It is confusing and probably a bug to overload finalize(). It will not be called by the VM.

public class Foo {
   // this is confusing and probably a bug
   protected void finalize(int a) {
   }
}
