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Is it possible this question is outdated or what would be the expectation in terms of this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
