I am adding a deleteonexit attribute to <delete>.



+1 in general, but I have an issue with the implementation.



If true, on failure to delete, note the error with a
warning message and call File#deleteOnExit() causing the
jvm to attempt to delete the file when the jvm process
is exitting. The warning message is "Failed to delete
<filename>, calling deleteOnExit".



This isn't strong enough for me. Ant may still fail to delete the
file when exitting, so I'd rather like something stronger than
"calling deleteOnExit". Something that says - look whether the file
has really gone after Ant stops.


Ok, something like
"Failed to delete <filename>, calling deleteonexit. This attempts
to delete the file when the ant jvm has exited - this may not succeed.



The warning message will be suppressed with the "quiet"
flag.



I'm not sure this is the correct behavior either.


This is the current "quiet" behaviour when <delete> cannot delete a file.
