Return statements should not occur in finally blocks

Prevents the RuntimeException from being propagated.

Returning from a finally block suppresses the propagation of any unhandled Throwable which was thrown in the try or catch block.

public static void main(String[] args) {   try {     doSomethingWhichThrowsException();     System.out.println("OK");   } catch (RuntimeException e) {     System.out.println("ERROR");   }                                                       } public static void doSomethingWhichThrowsException() {   try {     throw new RuntimeException();   } finally {     /* ... */     return;   // Non-Compliant - prevents the RuntimeException from being propagated   } }
