Java program to demonstrate the use of finally block
KW.java
class KW
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String s=null;
        try
        {
            System.out.println("Length: "+s.length());

        finally
        {
            System.out.println("Finally block always get executed");
        }
    }
}

The following try and finally block sequence is allowed
KW.java
class KW
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String s=null;
        try
        {
            System.out.println("Length: "+s.length());
        }
        finally
        {
            System.out.println("Finally block always get executed");
        }
    }
}
Output
kodingwindow@kw:~$ javac KW.java
kodingwindow@kw:~$ java KW
Finally block always get executed
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at KW.main(KW.java:8)
