org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.TempFile
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Cloneable
This task sets a property to the name of a temporary file.
  Unlike 
File.createTempFile(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.io.File), this task does not (by default) actually create the
  temporary file, but it does guarantee that the file did not
  exist when the task was executed.
 Examples
<tempfile property="temp.file" />create a temporary file
<tempfile property="temp.file" suffix=".xml" />create a temporary file with the .xml suffix.
<tempfile property="temp.file" destDir="build"/>create a temp file in the build subdir
