This was happening to a coworker for the last two weeks, and now it is now happening to me. Note it was not happening to me until today, and there were no changes to any .project, .classpath, or any other artifact.
We have found no way around it except to uninstall and reinstall WAS.
When attempting exploded deployment, we are getting this error:
Deployment failure on WebSphere 6.1. Could not copy all resources to C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\installedApps\BUBBANode01Cell\ear.ear. If a file is locked, you can wait until the lock times out to redeploy, or stop the server and redeploy, or manually remove the deployment at C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\installedApps\BUBBANode01Cell\ear.ear
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ralph Harnden
