is this question outdated?
I am reading that the finalize() method is a thing for before Java 9 and is not advised to be used for more modern solutions. Including I am getting some errors when trying to @Override it in the IntelliJ IDE.
Is it possible this question is outdated or what would be the expectation in terms of this

technically it should still possible to override it
but it is terminally deprecated (deprecated for removal) and shouldn't be used any more
it's unreliable and can cause many issues so you shouldn't use it
The 90's called and want their java memory model questions back.
