Testing and Workspace Deletion [message #332297]

I have a collection of tests that create several projects and files within
the workspace that are repeatedly cleared before each JUnit test:

@Before
public void clearWS() {
IWorkspace ws = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkspaceRoot root = ws.getRoot();

try {
root.delete(true, true, null);
} catch (CoreException e) {
fail(UNABLE_EMPTY_WS_MSG);
}
}

The first several tests always run successfully while the last half (~8)
randomly pass or fail, with the failure occurring because the resource
cannot be deleted (CoreException). All of the tests write files into the
workspace in the same manner, so I don't understand why clearing the
workspace sometimes fails.

My only thought is that there is a lock on a file or folder resource, but
I am closing all of my file streams after writing.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated,
J
