interesting, are you saying that the handle is not closed when you call
stream.close()?

even after I've stopped the webapp Tomcat still
holds an open file handle to the generated library files
Welcome to a JVM bug. The essence is that:
- File stream objects in the JVM hold onto the file handle.
- The handle is closed only when the object is GCed.
- On Windows, but not on Unix, an open file handle prevents file
deletion.
Your options are:
- Run on UNIX, possibly in a virtual machine;
- Ensure a garbage collection before the files need to be deleted - can
be difficult, as System.GC() is only a hint (as I found out when I ran
into this under somewhat different circumstances);
- Don't use a JVM with this defect (but I don't know if you have any
alternatives).
