If I use stop-the-world GC and do some stuff in my finalize() method can I assume that all threads are suspended and I can do whatever I want and no thread will dare to compete for resources with me except the GC thread?
No, in fact there may even be multiple finalizer threads running concurrently.
From the java language spec, “Finalizers may be called in any order, or even concurrently.”
