[platform-ui-dev] "random" test failures on Windows

[Francis Upton <francisu@xxxxxxxx>]

I have found that certain test failures, especially in the cleanup can 
be caused by not closing files.

This happens only on Windows as Windows will not allow you to delete a 
file that is open (Linux does not care).  So deleting a project that 
contains a file that is open for example will fail.

This bug illustrates that:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=244610

This is non-deterministic because if the Input/OutputStream associated 
with the file is garbage collected, it will close the file and you won't 
see a problem.

So if you have "random" test failures and they happen on Windows, make 
sure you have closed all of your files.
