You should make sure that Project#fireBuildFinished has been called - this one will trigger a cleanup in all classloaders Ant has instantiated. Also put a System.gc after setting project to null. But it may not be enough even after that. The Java VM itself is known to not close jar files that are on the classpath, so you cannot delete those files as long as your Java VM is running. Can you spawn separate VMs for your Ant runs so that you gert a chance to clean up?
