BuildReference (Jenkins core 2.452.4 API)

java.lang.Object
- jenkins.model.lazy.BuildReference<R>

```
public final class BuildReference<R>
extends Object
```
Reference (by default a SoftReference) to a build object.
To be able to re-retrieve the referent in case it is lost, this class remembers its ID (the job name is provided by the context because a BuildReference belongs to one and only AbstractLazyLoadRunMap.)
We use this ID for equality/hashCode so that we can have a collection of BuildReference and find things in it.

Since:

1.485 (but as of 1.548 not a SoftReference)
