      Description

        java.net.URLClassLoader.close() doesn't work as expected for JAR archives on
        Windows.

        The system resource held by URLClassLoader (i.e. JAR archive itself) is NOT
        released even when the class loader is closed. A similar issue has been
        fixed by JDK-6896088. This issue is regarded as a special case fixed by
        JDK-6896088, which can be observerd when close() is called during exception
        handling of load().

        Issue reproducible in JDK 14, 11, 8 and 7. 7u131 is the oldest of these.
        Steps to reproduce are below.

        1. Creates a arbitrary JAR file
        > ls
        Main.java Main.class
        > jar tvf sample.jar Main.class
        > ls
        Main.java Main.class sample.jar

        2. Run the Main class. It does the following:
          a. Creates URLClassLoader and uses it to load a class from the JAR
          b. Calls close() when the Exception thrown
          c. Attempts to delete the JAR, but can not.
