You probably want SoftReference, not WeakReference for a cache. In my experience, I found that using HashMap<?,SoftReference<?>> is easy enough to not justify a dedicated implementation.

Does anybody here know of a such an implementation? All I found are the implementation from Apache and Google Collections but adding 600KB dependencies only for that feels a bit strange. I can't believe that Equinox or some other Eclipse Plugin is not providing a similar implementation.
