The mount wizard creates a JarFileSystem when verifying that a selected JAR is valid and not already mounted. Even if the wizard is cancelled or another JAR file selected, this JarFileSystem is never disposed of, leaving the file open. The result is that on Windows, this file can not be deleted or moved until the IDE is shut down. This is an istance of a general problem with the JFS. It's very tempting for client code to create a JFS to access the jar file, or in this case have its system name created the canonical way. But there's no obvious requirement to shut it down correctly, or even an obvious method to call to do so.
Reassigning. Calling removeNotify() should close the JarFile. Automount should handle this if the file isn't mounted.
