DERBY-2162/DERBY-5618: Close the URLClassLoader when tests are done
with it so that file handles are freed and the jar files can be
deleted.
> Shutting down a database loaded from a jar file via the classpath and
> URLClassLoader leaves an open file reference to the jar file containing the
> database.

> Key: DERBY-2162
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2162
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Services
> Affects Versions: 10.2.1.6, 10.3.1.4
> Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner
> Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: derby_triage10_5_2
> Attachments: d2162-1a.diff

>
> A bug in java.net.URLClassLoader causes the underlying jar file to be held
> open once a resource has been fetched and opened.
> Loading a class or just accessing the URL for the resource does not keep the
> jar open. Reported the bug to Sun, it is similar to the existing bug Java bug
> 4950148 but in this case no amount of garbage collection will close the jar.
> Derby exposes this as all containers/files are opened using as resources when
> loading the database from the classpath.
> On windows this is seen as the inability to delete the jar file, seen by the
> fixture testDatabaseInClasspath in DatabaseClassLoadingTest.
> Similar to DERBY-2083 but due to a different cause.
