[JDK-8290036](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8290036) documented the shutdown sequence, noting that calling Runtime.halt() skips the shutdown sequence and immediately terminates the VM. Thus, "threads' current methods do not complete normally or abruptly; no finally clause of any method is executed".
One ramification of this is that resources within try-with-resource blocks will not be released. It would be good to state this explicitly.
