Description

Java xml parser keeps file locked after SAXException, causing the following tests to fail:

• TestQueueManagerForJobKillAndJobPriority
• TestQueueManagerForJobKillAndNonDefaultQueue

TestQueueManagerForJobKillAndJobPriority#testQueueAclRefreshWithInvalidConfFile() is creating a temp config file with incorrect syntax. Later, the test tries to delete/cleanup this file and this operation fails on Windows (as the file is still open). From this point on, all subsequent tests fail because they try to use the incorrect config file.
