Hi,
I've got an ANT project with libs managed by ivy (they are under lib_managed). Eclipse is using the jars to. Probelm is: if I try to update the directory ant refuses to delete it because eclipse holds on to the jars in its classpath. Even if I update (empty) eclipses classpath I can't delete the files. If anyone had the same problem and found a solution I would be thankfull for an answer.
Regards, Jan
I guess this is on Windows. Use the Process Explorer to figure out who is locking the files. Eclipse shouldn't keep a lock; maybe you have the code running in the debugger (hanging in a breakpoint). Use the list of open files and the properties to figure out which Java program is keeping the lock on the files.
If it's really Eclipse, try to upgrade to a newer version of Eclipse or close the project when you need to update the dependencies with ivy.
Not a solution, but a workaround. I experience Eclipse keeping locks on files quite often in different contexts. I suggest using Unlocker.
