Interface Reference<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

PhantomReference, SoftReference, StrongReference, StrongSoftReference, StrongWeakReference, WeakReference

public interface Reference<T>

This interface is provided to form a universal way to leverage all kinds of references, including strong references, which is ommited from java.lang.ref package. As extending from Reference is not suggested.

Because reference objects are implemented in close cooperation with the garbage collector, this class may not be subclassed directly. - from javadoc of Reference.

So this seperate interface is defined here.
