weakHashMap, weakTreeMap ???

implemented in Java.... ? OpenJDK/ GNU Classpath
Well, Frank is looking for a D weakHashMap implementation. Due to the 
fact that I am actually doing plombering, plastering, electric, 
establish tons of cement concrete  ... I am not able to offer a 
solution. (Beeing allready happy that I am  able to write a msg)

Nevertheless I did like to suggest to use Bill B's weakRef!  as  inner 
adaptor class of WeakHashMap.  (pretty much the same as in GNU 
classpath)  as static array of WeakRef objects. Further the dCollection 
: see dSource / collection classes are <IMO> fitting better than Tango 
Collection.
