In which case I think you may be out of luck. It looks like Java on Windows locks a file entry that is open for read, even though the file itself can be written. Just had a look at the test cases, and they don't appear to check that the tailed file can actually be deleted and/or renamed. I don't know if there is a different way for Tailer to open the file - maybe NIO offers something here. > Java version is 1.6.0, _20 or higher.
