I added a new optional class loader to 1.1 which should fix our file
lock problem on Windows. To enable the class loader use the
following command line option:
-DXorg.apache.geronimo.NewClassLoader=true
If the class loader actually solves the problem, and passes the TCK
we can make it the default.
If you are a Windows user, please try it out and report any remaining
file lock problems.
If you have some free time please take a look at the code. This type
of code needs lots of eyes on it. The code is located at branches/
1.1/modules/kernel/src/java/org/apache/geronimo/kernel/classloader.
I suggest you start with JarFileClassLoader, but the real file
management code is in JarFileResourceFinder.
