Not closing references JAR file

[frankbenoit]

After installing Infinitest, i encouter JAR files being locked by Eclipse. After deinstalling Infinitest, the behavior is going away.

The JAR file is used in a Java project, and I want to re-create it from outside. But the file cannot be overwritten because the file is blocked. The only ways are:

1. close/restart Eclipse OR
2. Use the process explorer, find eclipse, find the handle to the JAR, close the handle.

Please avoid that Infinitest is keeping workspace recourses open.

Could you clarify which jar you are talking about.
Is it a jar that is part of eclipse installation or a jar that is in the compile classpath of one of your project using infinitest?

Hello Sébastien

It is about a jar in the classpath of a project. In a sub dir of the
project. It contains classes, sources, images for javadoc.
A ANT build is going to delete and regenerate it. The delete fails when
infinitest is installed. Even when no tests in/for that project exist.

@frankbenoit could you please provide a sample github project that allows to reproduce the issue?
