Cannot delete surefirebooster

I am using Eclipse workspace (Version: Mars Release (4.5.0) Build id: 20150621-1200) on a Windows 10 system. After i check-out a project and try to build it using Maven clean, it gives a build failure. This is the error I get

If I restart my PC, I can delete this file (and the entire project), but when I checkout this project again in my workspace I get the same error. What should I do?

  1. Check Java processes on your computer using jps -m
  2. Then kill for example taskkill /F /PID 30503

There must a java process that's running in the background which runs the surefire jar. Try killing all the java tasks from task manager and then try deleting the surefire jar or try doing maven clean now.

You may have a java program running with a surfire jar. To see it, launch a jps command (this is a soft provide with the JDK) you will have the process, and then you can kill it.
