Judy, Is it possible that the files in question are .jar files that are on the classpath of other tasks that have been run during the build? If so, it's possible that the JVM still has the .jar file open, in which case you will not be able to delete it. -- Rick Genter Principal Software Engineer Silverlink Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.silverlink.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
