 FWIW, there is no "class finalization" in Java. It has been removed 
from the language spec quite some time ago. 
If you need it, you'll have to use a finalizer of a static field, as in
	private static Object finalhelper = new Object() {
	 protected void finalizer() {
		...
	 }
	}
Maybe you're talking about something else though?
