[m2e-users] M2E holding on to JAR file handles

[Mirko Raner <mirko@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

there are a couple build issues in my company that are easiest dealt with by wiping out the local .m2/repository (I know, it's lame).

I noticed that I cannot completely delete the repository because Eclipse is holding on to file handles to some of the JAR files, even when I'm not building my workspace. I tracked down who holds the file handles, and it is indeed the Eclipse process. It seems like a file handle leak to me if M2E opens a JAR but doesn't release the file handle in a timely manner.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this, or is something wrong with my M2E configuration?

 

Thanks,

 

Mirko

 

P.S.: I'm having a similar problem with the IvyDE plug-in and the .ivy2/cache
