Description

We read a properties file which is included in a JAR file. Unfortunately we cannot find any method to close the opened file handle after reading the properties.
This currently means that the JAR file can only be deleted after the JVM shuts down. I'll open a PR which shows the behavior.

We currently run our code mostly on Windows systems and Oracle JDK8.
