As far as I am aware Java implementations do no finalization on exit
unless System.runFinalizersOnExit(true) has been called. This method is
deprecated since it can cause incorrect finalization. But like all
things Java that have been deprecated, they never actually go away.

There is System.runFinalization() which executes finalize on all objects
in the pending finalization queue.
