ImageJ (or Java) doesn't let go of a file

If I open a file (a sld file using the loci bio-formats plugin to be
exact), look at it, then close it (so there are no open images) ... but
then I try to rename the file using Windows (I am renaming files a bit
more descriptively), I get a "the file is in use" message even though
there are NO images open.  I then have to close imageJ entirely in order
to rename the file, then load imageJ again to continue to the next file.

Is that normal behavior?
