Ant / javac task keeps handle on jars in classpath, can't delete [message #146650]

When I run an Ant script that has a target that executes javac, the jar
files that are referenced in the javac task are still held open. A task that
is run later in the script cannot delete the jar files because that are
still 'open'. When I run SysInternals' Process Explorer and search for the
name of the jar file, I can see that javaw.exe (Eclipse) still has a handle
on the jar file(s), event though the external tool has been terminated.
Anyone seen this or know how to fix it?

Run Ant in an external VM (JRE tab of the Ant launch configuration).
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=29668 for someone else who
had trouble
And https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24448 for why the
classloader persists.
