@demobox Agreed we should test on Windows; do you have a Windows dev box? jclouds had issues with unclosed ```FileInputStream``` and ```FileOutputStream``` over the years although I believe we have addressed those in separate commits. ```deleteOnExit``` is just a crutch for incorrect resource management. Related, I am working on a tool to instrument the garbage collector to find these kinds of resource management issues. I hope to release it in a few weeks. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/378#issuecomment-44048671
