how can one avoid the execution of code in the finally section of a try catch block? what kind of statements should go into the finally block?

A sledgehammer applied at just the right moment ought to do the trick.

Why do you think you need to know this? What's the context?

Also, what's a

final block

?

You don't.
That's the whole point of the finally block...it is guaranteed to execute (barring system exit I think, and things generally outisde the JVMs control).
