A flow final node is a final node that terminates a flow.

A flow final destroys all tokens that arrive at it. It has no effect on other flows in the activity.
No additional attributes
No additional associations
No additional constraints
Flow final destroys tokens flowing into it.

In the example below, it is assumed that many components can be built and installed. Here, the Build Component behavior occurs
iteratively for each component. When the last component is built, the end of the building iteration is indicated with a flow
final. However, even though all component building has come to an end, other behaviors are still executing (such as Install
Component).

Flow final nodes are introduced to model termination of a flow in an activity.
Flow final is new in UML 2.0.
