[opencms-dev] Managing module libs and module events

[Thomas Göttlich]

Hi Florian,

yes that helps.

However, there is one major problem:

OpenCMS can't delete the jars since they are in the classpath of the
application and the OS refuses to delete them while still being used (i.e.
the server still references them).

The problem is that the export driver tries to delete the lib
(file.delete();) and reports "ok" but didn't actually delete anything.

Any ideas?
