I am currenting making batch utility to test different combinations of java optimisers for my J4k entry this year.
The utilitiy calls the main(...) methods of other the optmising utilities. Each of these utilties produces a file as output.
It seems that some of these utilities do not release their handle to the file so i cannot delete these files at the end of the batch run.
How can I either forcibly delete the file even if there are still handles to it or "de-initalize" static references to the files internally to these utilities?
I do not have access to the source code of the utilities.
Or is there an other way to remove these files?
I think if i created a new runtime for each utilitiy i should beable to delete the files, however this would dramatically increase processing time.
My batch utility is working well thus far and has been able to compress the Jar used for Markus_Persson's entry l4krits (

I plan to release the utiltiy once it is in a more usable state.
