Unable to delete JAR file

           Summary: Unable to delete JAR file
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 9x
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: nj2dx@yahoo.com


On Windows 98 in an MS-DOS window I'm executing ANT with the following 
build.xml file:
<project name="util" default="clean" basedir=".">
        <target name="clean">
                <echo>${ant.version}</echo>
                <delete file="util.jar"/>
        </target>
</project>

A file named util.jar exist in the current directory and is NOT read only. The 
file can be deleted from the command line without any trouble.

The following is the output from ANT:
Buildfile: build.xml

clean:
     [echo] Apache Ant version 1.6.1 compiled on February 12 2004
   [delete] Deleting: C:\src\net\nj2dx\util\util.jar

BUILD FAILED
C:\src\net\nj2dx\util\build.xml:4: Unable to delete file C:\src\net\nj2dx\util\u
til.jar
