JAR file, as well as any opened file, is an OS resource. Just GC() is not enough. 1. You need to be sure that all streams obtained from it were properly closed during lifetime of your application. 2. Usually there is caching with JAR URLs in JRE, but JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener sets the default url caching option for that to false (see its sources for details). 3. There might be timeouts in the OS. So you may need to add some waiting. (Do not know why, whether it notifies some other applications e.g. a/v software, or that are file system timeouts, or OS caches). 4. You may try renaming the old jar file. That might work. 5. You may try undeploy + redeploy of the application. 6. The "context" that you are calling stop() and start() is the right object, i.e. it is an instance of StandarrdContext?
