This task sets a property to the name of a temporary file. Unlike the Java1.2 method to create a temporary file, this task does work on Java1.1. Also, it does not 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" />

<tempfile property="temp.file" suffix=".xml" />
