An exception to this is island of references(where all objects point to each other). One should never write his/her significant code in the object's finalise method because you can never be very sure that it will run. Finalise method runs only once in the life-time of an object. So even if you re-initialise an object in its finalize code, it can become eligible for garbage collection(if there is no strong reference to the object) and its finalise method won't be called again The object is eligible for garbage collection only if there is no strong reference to the object.
