[news.eclipse.newcomer] leaving .lock files upon exit

i have tried two versions of eclipse 3.1 and 3.3.1 and both behave the same way.

i have no plugins. i am running it from a temp directory that is fresh.

the most recent version is a 64bit version of 3.3.1 .

every time i exit eclipse the tools leaves the file .metadata/.lock in the workspace directory. eclipse then complains that the workspace is locked and refuses to start in that workspace.

i remove the file, and it starts just fine.

other than writing a wrapper script to delete this file, is there something else that can be done?
