The `Initialize` procedure will be execute before any other events and can be used to initialize global variables.

Th `Finalize` procedure will called after the project is done and must be used to clear eventual gloabl objects created in the `Initialize` procedure

## Example

```objectpascal
var
  gDeler: TSearchTable; // Declare a gobale variable

procedure Initialize;
begin
  // The global variable has to created and initialized in the Initiliaze procedure
  gDeler := TSearchTable.Create('ALU_DELER'); // Create and load search table "ALU_DELER"
end;

procedure Finalize;
begin
  gDeler.Free; // The global variable has to be freed
end;
```
