[platform-swt-dev] usage finalize() as last resort of resource managemen

["Danail Nachev" <d.nachev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, everybody,

First, I want to apologize for introducing again the hot topic for
resource management in SWT. Because I don't want to start another
thread on this I want to read the old information on this. But I
cannot find it (more interested on the exact question: 'why resource
management doesn't use finalize() as last resort?). Only found this
very bug:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123765

The last comment states that this have been already discussed, but I
couldn't find this discussion. Is it available online or it is some
internal discussion? Could someone point me in the right direction,
because I only find discussions, where the questioner has been
redirected to the document describing the resource management in SWT,
which however, hasn't the answer to the exact question.

Best regards,
Danail
