This sounds pretty nice.  I'm not sure I have the will to set up a
Geronimo environment on Windows to try it, but it would be really cool
if we avoided all the file locking problems caused by the jar handling
there.  :)

Thanks,

I added a new optional class loader to 1.1 which should fix our file
lock problem on Windows.  To enable the class loader use the
following command line option:

        -DXorg.apache.geronimo.NewClassLoader=true

If the class loader actually solves the problem, and passes the TCK
we can make it the default.

If you are a Windows user, please try it out and report any remaining
file lock problems.

If you have some free time please take a look at the code.  This type
of code needs lots of eyes on it.  The code is located at branches/
1.1/modules/kernel/src/java/org/apache/geronimo/kernel/classloader.
I suggest you start with JarFileClassLoader, but the real file
management code is in JarFileResourceFinder.
