Do you really need the 'finally' block

There are 3 permutations of a try...catch...finally block in java.

  1. try...catch
  2. try...catch...finally
  3. try...finally

Once the finally block is executed, control goes to the next line after the finally block. If I remove the finally block and move all its statements to the line after the try...catch block, would that have the same effect as having them in the finally block?

finally block especially used at the time of exception prevention. If any runtime error occurs, the program may lead to terminate. So at this time, it will call finally block before going to terminate the program. Usually 'finally' contains connection closing statements, save operations and file input, output close operations.
