Suppressing Finializers?

[Dillinger4]

Does anyone if this can be done in Java? I have some resources that need to be cleaned up in a timely fashion and im having issues with the lag between when the object is no longer refrenced by the application and when the object is consumed by the GC. Ive been working with Visual Basic Net lately and ive found a way to suppress them.

Class Demo
  Private m_disposed As Boolean
 
  Public Sub Disposed()

  If(Not m_disposed) Then 
    Finialize()
    GC.SuppressFinialize(this)
    m_disposed = True
  End If
  End Sub 

  Protected Overides Sub Finialize()
  'perform any necessary clean up here
 End Sub 
End Class
