Class TempFile

java.lang.Object

com.aoindustries.io.TempFile

@Deprecated
public class TempFile
extends Object

Deprecated.

Please use TempFileContext as File.deleteOnExit() is prone to memory leaks in long-running applications.

Holds a reference to a temp file. Automatically deletes the file with a finalizer, on JVM shutdown, or when delete() is explicitly called.
