             Summary: cache holds onto ZipFiles, which leak file handlers
                 Key: VFS-594
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-594
             Project: Commons VFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Sam Halliday


The wonderful Java implementation of ZipFile opens up the file on instance 
creation. That's exceptionally wasteful on Linux but downright buggy on 
Windows, because Windows will then obtain an exclusive lock on that file.

In ENSIME, this has the wonderful side effect of making compilation silently 
fail, because the compiler can't write out to the jar file, because it's being 
held by the IDE process.

The references are being kept alive by the VFS cache. I'm going to try to 
disable it, as well as attempt as much manual closing of ZipFiles as I possibly 
can.
