Major Description
If an exception occurs during plugin initialization,
the currently open Log4j2Plugins.dat file is not closed, because
the call to inputstream.close is not in a finally block.

This may cause the issue reported by Fabian in the log4j-user mailing list:

It seems there is an issue with log4j 2 not closing the core JAR handle on Windows.
It prevents Tomcat from auto redeploying an app.
Upon updating an hypothetical DiscoveryService.war in the 'webapps' folder, the redeploy will fail:
SEVERE: [C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-7.0.39\webapps\DiscoveryService\WEB-INF\lib] could
not be completely deleted. The presence of the remaining files may cause problems
Upon inspection it looks like:
C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-7.0.39\webapps\DiscoveryService\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-core-2.0-beta4.jar
Cannot be deleted :/ ! Is there anything special to do so log4j 2 close the JAR handle ?
