Avoid Using `Object.finalize()`

Ensure that the `finalize()` method is not used. Use try-with-resources or explicit cleanup methods instead.

Why this matters

Finalizers are deprecated, unreliable, and can cause performance issues. Use try-with-resources or explicit cleanup methods instead.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

@Override
protected void finalize() {
    // Cleanup logic
}

Prefer

// Use try-with-resources or explicit cleanup instead

Bad

@Override
protected void finalize() {
    // Cleanup logic
}

Good

// Use try-with-resources or explicit cleanup instead

From the same buckets as this rule.

Critical
Avoid Duplicating String Literals
Store repeated string literals in constants or variables to improve maintainability and reduce redundancy.

Avoid Empty Methods
Detect methods that have an empty body. If a method is empty, ensure that a comment is present explaining why it remains unimplemented.

Avoid modifying built-in prototypes
Detect modifications to built-in prototypes. Modifying built-in objects can lead to compatibility issues and unexpected behavior. Recommend creating helper functions instead.
