Deprecated.&nbsp;deprecated 1.7; will be removed in Ant1.8
 Just use <CODE>WeakReference</CODE> directly.

<DL>
<DT><PRE>public class WeakishReference<DT>extends java.lang.Object</DL>
</PRE>

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
