[DERBY-6531] The ant genrelnotes target fails to run the clean_target on windows

• Type: Improvement
• Status: Open
• Priority: Minor
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 10.10.2.0
• Component/s: Build tools
• Environment: windows 7

Description

To build release notes, one need to run the following command:
ant -Drelnotes.src.reports=/path/to/report_directory
-Djira.user=<jira user name>
-Djira.password=<password for that user>
-Drelease.version=<version of the release in JIRA>
genrelnotes

The genrelnotes target includes as the final step:

<!-- Remove cruft so that it does not turn up in source distributions -->
<antcall target="clean-jirasoap"/>

This failed on my windows system, because:
-----------------
[path]\tools\release\build.xml:167: The following error occurred while executing this line:
[path]\tools\release\build.xml:516: Unable to delete file [path]\tools\release\jirasoap\target\JiraSOAP-LATEST-jar-with-dependencies

Workaround: run the clean-jirasoap target as a separate step.
