FileUtils.createTempFile() - should we delete on exit?

2003-04-15 Thread Jesse Stockall 
Bug 17512 http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17512 
proposes a fix for an annoyance that 'plagues' a number of Ant tasks.

Tasks like junit and javac can create temporary files that get left 
behind if the build is terminated via 'ctrl-c'

Should the fix be applied to each task that creates temp files, or 
should it be put in FileUtils.createTempFile().

Since 1.6 will require JDK 1.2+ we can avoid the ugly reflection in the 
patch (attached to the bug report).

Thoughts?

+1 to a centralized cleanup of temp files. It may need to be an parameter, 
though.

The later (and I agree with Conor on the optional additional
argument).
