What will be the output of the program? public class Foo { public static void main(String args) { try { return; } finally { System.out.println( "Finally" ); } } }

If you put a finally block after a try and its associated catch blocks, then once execution enters the try block, the code in that finally block will definitely be executed except in the following circumstances:

1. An exception arising in the finally block itself.
2. The death of the thread.
3. The use of System.exit()
4. Turning off the power to the CPU.

I suppose the last three could be classified as VM shutdown.
