http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17512 Quitting javac task with CTRL-C can leave temporary files Summary: Quitting javac task with CTRL-C can leave temporary files Product: Ant Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly) Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When compiling a large number of classes at once, it appears that when Ant is configured to use jikes it will create a temporary file called "filexxxx" or "file-xxxx" where xxxx is some random number. The temporary file contains a list of all the java files being compiled. It then removes this file when the jikes is complete. However, if the compile is interrupted (such as hitting CTRL-C when a long list of compile errors is being spewed back), it will fail to delete the temporary file. If I switch the compiler to "javac" it doesn't appear to create any temporary file. I have created a fix for this based on the current CVS code. This fix includes a new method to FileUtils called deleteOnExit(...) which uses reflection to determine if JDK1.2+ is being used and if so, calls File.deleteOnExit() on the file passed in as a parameter. The patch calls this new method in the DefaultCompilerAdapter class when a temporary file is created. The patch seems to get rid of this problem.
