A very very useful tool that runs on Windows is Handle
<
http://www.sysinternals.com/utilities/handle.html>
You simply run it like so:
/handle batik
/
-- it will tell you what process is using (and has locked) the jar file
Example output from my system:
c:\dev\src\webapps\remodel>*handle appserv*
Handle v3.01
