The jdb files in frontier are too many, can I delete them when the crawler is 
running? Is there a problem with that?

jdb files contain the list of the URLs that should be crawled and other needed 
stuff. They should not be deleted during the running of the crawler. But after 
that and if you don't need to resume the crawl, they can be deleted.

hi Yasser, 

I am using Eclipse n Jboss. The crawling process completes properly. Once this 
is over, i need to delete the frontier folder and its content. I tried to do 
this using code and manual delete (go to the location, select the folder and 
delete). But neither the code nor the manual delete process delete the frontier 
folder as long as the Jboss server is on.

I am able to do so, after stopping the server. Can you explain why this happens 
to me and how i can overcome it?
