When program execution enters a {{ Wiki Markup try
}} block that has a {{finally
}} block, the {{finally
}} block always executes, regardless of whether the {{try
}} block (or any associated {{catch
}} blocks) execute to completion. Statements that cause the {{finally
}} block to terminate abruptly also cause the {{try
}} block to terminate abruptly, and consequently mask any exception thrown from the {{try
}} or {{catch
}} blocks \[[JLS blocks (JLS 205, Section 14.20.2, Execution of try-catch-finally|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/statements.html#14.20.2]\]).
Never use return
, break
, continue
or throw
statements within a finally
block.
