This document discusses classes and objects in Java, including: - Classes should implement object models and reflect real-world objects. - Constructors prepare objects for use and finalizers perform cleanup before objects are discarded. - Reference objects and the garbage collector determine how reachable objects are. - Cloning objects allows copying but a deep copy duplicates contained objects. - The Reflection API supports introspection to access class information at runtime. - Nested and inner classes can be defined inside other classes.
