Hello Stuart, My understanding of the the lazy `Holder` is that it's there to delay the static initialization of the code that's part of the `Holder`. In this case here, the `Holder` is being used right within the `static` block of the `Finalizer` class, that too as the first thing. In this case, is that `Holder` class necessary?
I pushed an update to remove the Holder class. It seems to continue to work fine. Thanks for pointing this out @jaikiran !
Thank you Stuart, this changed version looks fine to me. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6442
