Weird error with Jar task

Weird error with Jar task

Actually, based on some further Googling, I think I stumbled on the
answer (and I do mean stumbled!)...

It appears that the cause of the problem is my Checkstyle task...

<target name="checkstyle">
  <echo message="Performing static code analysis using CheckStyle..." />
  <delete file="${src}/checkstyle_results.xml" />
  <taskdef resource="checkstyletask.properties">
    <classpath location="${src}/lib/checkstyle-all.jar" />
  </taskdef>
  <checkstyle config="${otherlibs}/checkstyle_checks.xml"
failOnViolation="false">
    <classpath refid="classpath" />
    <fileset dir="${src}/org" includes="**/*.java" />
    <formatter type="xml" toFile="${src}/checkstyle_results.xml" />
  </checkstyle>
  <echo message="Done" />
</target>

It seems like it might be a file locking issue... I found a Bugzilla
ticket that was much like my problem, but the cause was some unnamed
other task.  Not sure it was Checkstyle in that case, but seems to be here.

Not a big problem, I can just move the Checkstyle task to after the JAR
update task, but does anyone know for sure what is going on?
