Java exceptions using finally

Question

I am study exceptions in Java and came across this snippet:

public class Test
{
    public int b()
    {
        try
        {
            System.out.println("try block");
            return 0;
        }
        finally
        {
            System.out.println("Finally block!");
        }
     }

     public static void main (String[] args)
     {
          Test t= new Test();
          t.b();
     }
}

Since the finally block is always executed and in this case you have a return 0 before it, will it still be executed? (What exactly would the output be).

@SotiriosDelimanolis Technically there are two ways: run the code or read (and understand) the specs! — assylias, Jan 20 '14 at 16:53
@assylias My bad, I meant to say one **easy, simple, impossibly obvious** way to find out. — Sotirios Delimanolis, Jan 20 '14 at 16:54

I guess you never made a typo :)) – user3126119 Jan 20 '14 at 17:03
@user3126119 Error is always an error even if it is a typing error :-) – Rakesh KR Jan 20 '14 at 17:06
