I have a SoftRef on it.

  | public class DefaultElement<A extends Annotation, M extends AccessibleObject> extends WeakClassLoaderHolder implements Element<A, M>
  | {
  |    protected String className;
  |    protected Signature signature;
  |    protected Class<A> annClass;
  |    protected Class<M> aoClass;
  | 
  |    private SoftReference<Class<?>> classRef;
  | 

And WeakRef on the ClassLoader.

  | abstract class WeakClassLoaderHolder
  | {
  |    private WeakReference<ClassLoader> clRef;
  | 
  |    ...
  | 
  | public class DefaultAnnotationEnvironment extends WeakClassLoaderHolder implements AnnotationEnvironment
  | 

Is that OK?
Or should I explicitly go and nullify it?
