The essence is that: - File stream objects in the JVM hold onto the file handle. - The handle is closed only when the object is GCed. - On Windows, but not on Unix, an open file handle prevents file deletion. Your options are: - Run on UNIX, possibly in a virtual machine; - Ensure a garbage collection before the files need to be deleted - can be difficult, as System.GC() is only a hint (as I found out when I ran into this under somewhat different circumstances); - Don't use a JVM with this defect (but I don't know if you have any alternatives). - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
