Can't delete the webapp directory after WAR file is unpacked

           Summary: Can't delete the webapp directory after WAR file is
                    unpacked
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.18
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bryan.basham@sun.com


I use Ant to build a WAR file and deploy it to the webapps/ directory.
When I attempt to use undeployWebapp target after Tomcat has unpacked
the WAR file, I get the following error message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[948] basham@basham: ant
Buildfile: build.xml

undeployWebapp:
   [delete] Deleting directory /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/webapps/arch1

BUILD FAILED
/usr/basham/Java/Projects/NullArchitectures/Arch1/build.xml:64: Unable to delete
file /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/webapps/arch1/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Total time: 2 seconds
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

My recommendation would be to have Tomcat unpack the WAR file with the
same user/group assigned to the WAR file itself; this should solve this
problem (or at least make it easier to work around).

PS - I will attach a simple "null" webapp development environment that I have
     used to explore this bug.
