[jira] Closed: (IO-17) [io] delete in FileUtils sometimes fails on
Windows
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-17?page=all ]
Stephen Colebourne closed IO-17.
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.3)
Resolution: Won't Fix
The general agreement here is that this is a bad idea. Also, I can find no Sun bug database report logging this issue (although there are various related misconceptions).
Thus, I'm closing as WontFix. Please reopen if there is a Sun bug database report, or a reproducible test case can be created.

> The delete function in the FileUtils class will sometimes not delete a file or
> directory on windows. This is a known bug in the VM. Ant solves this by calling
> the GC explecitly and then wait some time. See
