- Direct Known Subclasses:
WeakishReference.HardReference
@Deprecated
public class WeakishReference
extends java.lang.Object
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
