Code review request 7183373: URLClassloader.close() does not close JAR files whose resources have been loaded via getResource() (original) (raw)

Could I get the change reviewed please

This behavior is seen on Windows. Logic in URLClassPath.getLoader() does not take care of an URL which looks like "jar:file:/C:/test/xyz.jar!/". The logic ends up choosing a FileLoader instead of a JarLoader. JarLoader has provision for closing file handles, so choosing a JarLoader will solve the problem. Secondly the constructor of JarLoader blindly adds a prefix and suffix to the provided URL to make it look like a jar URL. Changed the code here to conditionally append/prepend
