Using Anypoint Studio 7.23 (Mule 4.10) on Windows 11, hot redeploy fails every time I save XML while the app is running. 

 

Studio shows: 

 

Project redeployment has been aborted due to an error 

 

Root error: 

 

java.nio.file.FileSystemException: ...jar: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process 

 

This happens while copying files into: 

 

<Studio>/plugins/org.mule.tooling.server.../mule/apps/<app>/repository/ 

 

 

What I tried: 

 

Workspace and Studio moved outside user folder 

 

Clean project, delete target + deployed app folder 

 

Restarted Studio and PC 

 

Result: 

App runs, but any save → redeploy fails → must stop/run manually. 

 

Has anyone faced this file-lock issue on Windows or found a fix? 

 

 

Anypoint Studio hot redeploy fails on save due to file lock on Windows
