Delete A Directory

Hi all,
I am trying to delete a diretory (Files) using java and it is working when i run the respective .class by keeping it out of directory.
But if i keep the .class in the same directory where i am trying to delete , there then it is deleting all other files except the .class and therefore the directory remains as it is.

It will be great if any one could suggest this.

Did you expect to delete a directory while its contained files are in use?

Yes, this is for like Uninstalling a application.

First i created an Executable .jar file, where this will delete ( Clean ) all Files in the Directory(Application) and then finally the Directory(Application).
I placed this .jar inside the Directory, so that to uninstall this Application i click on this .jar.

Thank you

Don't know, I am afraid.

Anybody else?

Have you considered copying the jar to a temp location and then executing it from there? Files in the temp location get cleaned up by the OS.

Yes, i tried by keeping the jar in temp location(out side of the application ) and it was deleting the Directory, but my requirement is that , the executable jar named "Uninstaller.jar" (which performs deleting the Directory) will be there inside my application under the UnInstaller Folder and it should delete entire Application when i click the uninstaller.jar.

But it is Not working, instead of that it is cleaning all files except the Uninstaller Folder as it is in Progress and so the application is not removed completely.

So any one can help me in doing this ?

thank you

Hi i'm waiting for a solution so if any one it will be help full.

Once Again the requirement is, Uninstalling the application using java.

Friends i'm using Cmdow.exe Command Line Window Utility for hiding, listing, hiding/unhidingminimizing.maximiging,enabling.disabling of Batch files (and for Other purposese also) i used this cmdow.exe in my application diirectly when installing my application . But sometimes in someother machines while it is being installing it is identified as Virus, this is Becuase the Anti Virus makers decided to destroy because of its hiding a file feature.

So i'm looking for alternate for cmdow.exe
