    Description

      I was able to reproduce this consistently in Trinidad demos by
      1. setting trinidad-config.xml to purple/default
      2. running panelPageSkinDemo.jspx and pressing the "Skin Dirty" button.
      3. I'd see a message about not being able to delete the file, then a message
      about not being able to write to it. (FileSystemStyleCache> <_getWriter>
      IOException while opening file for writing
      Note: by consistently, sometimes it would happen every time I pressed the
      Skin Dirty button, then later in the day I had to press it over and over for
      about 5 minutes to see the error.

      I investigated this for quite some time to rule out concurrency issues. I
      looked at org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.webapp.ResourceServlet to make sure the
      code in doGet wasn't reading the css file at the same time the code in
      FileSystemStyleCache was trying to delete it or write to it. This was always
      ok even when I saw the error.

      When I got this error about not being able to delete the file, I went to the
      css file on the filesystem, and tried deleting it by hand, and I got an error
      saying that someone else is using the file.I downloaded a tool so I could see
      what process was holding on to the file handle, and it was java.exe . I was running in JDeveloper.
      After a minute or two, I would see the process would release the file.

      To fix this issue, I plan to log an info message instead of throwing the exception.
      The css file will be there on the filesystem, and the browser will be able
      to read it, so the application will not be affected.
