Description Jesse Glick 2004-04-30 23:51:48 UTC

Currently Ant hyperlink parsing not only creates a
FileObject for every hyperlink, but retains a
reference to that FileObject for as long as the
output is displayed. This is wasteful, since the
FileObject may never be needed; only if the link
is clicked.

Should change AntOutputStream to not force
creation of the hyperlink; and to keep only a URL
or File internally, until the link is actually
activated.

Should be compatible for existing AOS subclasses
(though there aren't any).
