Description

When you create a FileObject for the Zip(or Jar) file system then the file is
locked. The Zip file cannot be deleted or replaced even if you've called close()
on the FileObject.

I've attached a small program that shows the problem.

Note that the work around is to call close() on the AbstractFileSystem.
