Class WeakishReference
java.lang.Object
org.apache.tools.ant.util.WeakishReference
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- WeakishReference.HardReference
Deprecated.
These classes are part of some code to reduce memory leaks by only
 retaining weak references to things
 on Java1.2+, and yet still work (with leaky hard references) on Java1.1.
 Now that Ant is 1.2+ only,
 life is simpler and none of the classes are needed any more.
 They are only retained in case a third-party task uses them
- Since:
- ant1.6
