Do not reinvent the wheel.
Oh, sorry, did you mean you want only the topic headings to cover the objectives?
For that go to some good certification book publishers' web sites and look up the tables of contents for the various books.

You cannot ensure garbage collection!
Class and instance initialization order, static and member initialization blocks, super() and this().
