In short: Write proper tests!
You're actually working on Windows and that file is created/opened during a
unit test, but the OutputStream/InputStream is not properly closed i.e.
Windows has an open file handle. Unless this file handle exists, you cannot
delete the file. Closing Eclipse will obviously terminate the parent process
of the file handle.
