final – constant declaration.

finally – The finally block always executes when the try block exits, except System.exit(0) call. This ensures that the finally block is executed even if an unexpected exception occurs. But finally is useful for more than just exception handling — it allows the programmer to avoid having cleanup code accidentally bypassed by a return, continue, or break. Putting cleanup code in a finally block is always a good practice, even when no exceptions are anticipated.

finalize() – method helps in garbage collection. A method that is invoked before an object is discarded by the garbage collector, allowing it to clean up its state. Should not be used to release non-memory resources like file handles, sockets, database connections etc because Java has only a finite number of these resources and you do not know when the garbage collection is going to kick in to release these non-memory resources through the finalize() method.

Did you try searching on google, and need clarification for an explanation?

final

final can be used to mark a variable "unchangeable"

private final String name = "foo";  //the reference name can never change

final can also make a method not "overrideable"

public final String toString() {  return "NULL"; }

final can also make a class not "inheritable". i.e. the class can not be subclassed.

public final class finalClass {...}
public class classNotAllowed extends finalClass {...} // Not allowed

finally

finally is used in a try/catch statement to execute code "always"

lock.lock();
try {
//do stuff
} catch (SomeException se) {
//handle se
} finally {
lock.unlock(); //always executed, even if Exception or Error or se
}

Java 7 has a new try with resources statement that you can use to automatically close resources that explicitly or implicitly implement java.io.Closeable or java.lang.AutoCloseable

finalize

finalize is called when an object is garbage collected. You rarely need to override it. An example:

protected void finalize() {
//free resources (e.g. unallocate memory)
super.finalize();
}

• "Final" denotes that something cannot be changed. You usually want to use this on static variables that will hold the same value throughout the life of your program.
• "Finally" is used in conjunction with a try/catch block. Anything inside of the "finally" clause will be executed regardless of if the code in the 'try' block throws an exception or not.
• "Finalize" is called by the JVM before an object is about to be garbage collected.

The final keyword is used to declare constants.

final int FILE_TYPE = 3;

The finally keyword is used in a try catch statement to specify a block of code to execute regardless of thrown exceptions.

try
{
//stuff
}
catch(Exception e)
{
//do stuff
}
finally
{
//this is always run
}

And finally (haha), finalize im not entirely sure is a keyword, but there is a finalize() function in the Object class.

final: final is a keyword. The variable decleared as final should be initialized only once and cannot be changed. Java classes declared as final cannot be extended. Methods declared as final cannot be overridden.

finally: finally is a block. The finally block always executes when the try block exits. This ensures that the finally block is executed even if an unexpected exception occurs. But finally is useful for more than just exception handling - it allows the programmer to avoid having cleanup code accidentally bypassed by a return, continue, or break. Putting cleanup code in a finally block is always a good practice, even when no exceptions are anticipated.

finalize: finalize is a method. Before an object is garbage collected, the runtime system calls its finalize() method. You can write system resources release code in finalize() method before getting garbage collected.

• Final is used to apply restrictions on class, method and variable. • Final class can't be inherited, final method can't be overridden and final variable value can't be changed. • Final variables are initialized at the time of creation except in case of blank final variable which is initialized in Constructor. • Final is a keyword.
