Maybe we should change the tests, rather than set the system property? Is the file read-only on non-Windows platforms as well? To me the description of the change doesn't say what the behavior is on other platforms. Is Windows the only one that now will not delete read-only files - or is it the only one where read-only files would have been removed prior to Java 25? Also we could modify FileUtils.tryHardToDelete to remove the read-only flag if we feel this is something that may hit Ant's users. After all it has bitten our own testsuite.
