Hi all,
This is kind of a feature request... What I would like to have is a new
Reference variant that allows me to keep an instance alive for as long
as the class of the object is alive, without the instance keeping the
class alive.
In the end I would like to be able to store values, but don´t keep the
classes involved from being garbage collected. I am especially thinking
here about a combination of ClassValue and this Ephemeron (?) that
allows me to cache values on classes, without preventing class unloading.
Is there any chance for this making its way into the JVM? What would
prevent this?
bye Jochen
