Description _ gtzabari 2004-09-11 22:10:24 UTC
dev build 200409091800
J2SE 1.5 RC

I hit SHIFT-F11 to rebuild my web project. It
happens to have ant*.jar in the WEB-INF/lib
directory. I get an error removing the file
because it is locked. I am guessing the tomcat
server has it locked?
Comment 1 _ gtzabari 2004-09-12 07:24:09 UTC
${dist.dir} is locked too for some reason... It is likely this is a
Netbeans quirk (i.e. it locks it upon starting up) because if I
restart Netbeans it *still* claims the file is locked and if I close
Netbeans I can delete the file from windows directly.
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2004-09-13 09:56:12 UTC
I can not reproduce the problem with ${dist.dir}
Comment 3 Pavel Buzek 2004-09-25 01:01:05 UTC
Gili, is it really ${dist.dir}? I would expect ${build.web.dir} or its
subdir WEB-INF\lib to cause problems but ${dist.dir} only contains
.war file which is not used for deployment.

Stepane, is not this a duplicate of the following bug?

Project Clean and Build can't delete jar file because it is in use.
Comment 4 Sherold Dev 2004-09-27 10:30:15 UTC
Yes, it seems so. Marking as duplicate of issue 47919.
