output file locked after generation with command line interface

           Summary: output file locked after generation with command line
                    interface
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.4Dx
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: cmarton@calendra.com


When using the command line to transform an XML document:
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process.main(String[])
the generated file is locked until the VM is closed.

This is because the outputStream is never closed in the main().
This is a problem for example when the transformation is included in
an ANT build. Next ANT task can't remove the generated files which may
be mandatory for cleaning. 

The following code (works/tested for my needs)inserted near the end of the main
fixes the issue (inserted Line 930):

// closes output stream
if (null != outFileName && strResult!=null) {
   java.io.OutputStream out=strResult.getOutputStream();
   java.io.Writer writer=strResult.getWriter();
   try{
      if (out!=null) out.close();
      if (writer!=null) writer.close();
   }catch(java.io.IOException ie) {
      // XXX an error message
   }
}
