Interface Summary

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.

Class Summary

PhantomReference<T>	This class behaves identical to PhantomReference, just here to implement Reference interface.
SoftReference<T>	This class behaves identical to SoftReference, just here to implement Reference interface.
StrongReference<T>	This is the strong version of Reference, which is ommited from java.lang.ref package.
StrongSoftReference<T>	This class inherits behaviors from SoftReference, whereas an instance will keep a strong reference to the referent at construction, thus prevent it from being automatically cleared by gc until the strong reference is explicitly cleared later.
StrongWeakReference<T>	This class inherits behaviors from WeakReference, whereas an instance will keep a strong reference to the referent at construction, thus prevent it from being automatically cleared by gc until the strong reference is explicitly cleared later.
WeakReference<T>	This class behaves identical to WeakReference, just here to implement Reference interface.
