new problem on try-catch

[deepesh mathur]

in a recent post i've learned that there is no method to prevent finally block to be executed but one of my teachers told me that it is possible by using :
System.in(0);
(in the try block)
really confused please help...

this strange, corner-case of a topic is NOT on the exam - relax!

I'm pretty sure your teacher meant "System.exit(0)" instead of "System.in(0)". The latter is invalid syntax. As far as I know, invoking System.exit() is the only way to stop a finally block from being executed--and that's because System.exit() immediately terminates all threads and shuts down the JVM. This isn't really a corner case, but it's an extremely bad practice (to say the least).

so it's not a matter of real concern..
