java - Is there such case when in tryfinally block the finally won't be executed?

Question

I'm studying for my test in Object Oriented Programming and I was wondering if there is any case what so ever that considering the following code:

try {
    do something
} catch (someException e) {

} finally {
    do something
}

the finally block will not execute?

Answer 1

Yes. If you crash the Java VM or otherwise muck things up via native code, cause the program to terminate, or loop/wait infinitely inside the try block.

Those are the only three cases which will avoid executing the finally block.
