  java.lang.ref.Reference
      java.lang.ref.WeakReference
          org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.FileReference

public final class FileReference
extends WeakReference

FileObject reference with properties. It has longer or the same lifetime (defined by AbstractFileSystem & GC) as referent FileObject.

It keeps last virtual property state. It allows VFS to kick up loaders layer on the property change. This nasty dependency on loaders layer cannot be resolved on loaders layer itself because VFS.children() returns the same result, same fileobjects. No FS API event for this property exists that loaders follow.
