Build Identifier: I20110613-1736 When an ant build file links to external jars to define new tasks (aka taskdef) the Eclipse ANT file opens a the file in order to enable auto-completion of tasks but it does not close it when closing the editor tab. The file remains opened (for the operating system) until Eclipse closes. In case of tasks under development, the defining JAR file cannot be overwritten in course of a rebuild because Eclipse keeps the file open - it would be helpful that the editor closes the file upon editor close or to read out the taskdefs and watches the linked JAR files for modifications instead of keeping the file just opened. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit ANT file with taskdef to jar in same project. 2. Eclipse holds lock on file until IDE is closed. File cannot be modified from outside.
