Hi Mentors, I used some initial ideas from Heinz for a memory-restricted Map implementation using Soft References (now in our SVN). I've changed it a decent amount after the initial seeding of the source though. I wrap that Map in a Cache implementation to use in CacheManager. No memory leaks unlike the HashtableCache.
I'd like to use this as the default CacheManager if one is not configured, instead of a hard dependency on Ehcache (or perhaps discuss if caching is disabled entirely unless explicitly configured). In any case, now that we have Heinz's permission, is there anything we need to do in the project for clearance purposes? (as long as we abide by his wishes of linking to his website in the source code/javadoc of course - see the referenced email below).
