Dain's comment in G-1925
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1925#action_12377686 )
"I just committed a new class loader that should eliminate the file locks created by the class loader. To enable the new class loader, simply use -DXorg.apache.geronimo.NewClassLoader=true "
I did a quick test with this new property. It solves the problem reported in G-1925.

> We need a new class loader that does not leave open file locks when destroyed. The URLClassLoader will only close the jar files and subsequently release the file locks, when it is garbage collected. It is common for programming mistake to leak references to classes (even the JVM has several leaks), and these leaked classes have hard references to the class loader which prevent the class loader from being garbage collected. On Windows the jar files referred to by a URLClassLoader can not be modified or deleted until the class loader is garbage collected which in too many cases means JVM exits. This prevents redeployment from working since, the directory can not be deleted.
