@Deprecated public class WeakishReference extends java.lang.Object
Deprecated.deprecated 1.7; will be removed in Ant1.8 Just useWeakReference
directly.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
