Re: [platform-swt-dev] Use weak references to manage system resources?
|
OK, I have done some prototyping and discovered that weak references don't work exactly the way I thought they did. :-) So I think I will need to give this a bit more thought. If I come up with anything that seems useful, I'll post it back to the list.
Thanks,
Greg
