Hi folks, If a FileNotFoundException is thrown when attempting to load a class from a jar file, a reference to the open JarFile remains even after the loader is closed. The test in the webrev demonstrates the problem by attempting to delete the JarFile after attempting a class load.
The deletion will fail as the JarFile is still in use (i.e. open) despite the fact that the loader has been closed. Note: the behaviour depends on the URLConnections useCaches setting so the test cycles through the combinations. (this helpfully found a problem with an earlier fix attempt) bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8132359 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~robm/8132359/webrev.01/ Thanks, -Rob
