Method Detail

createTempDirectory

public static File createTempDirectory()
                                throws IOException

Create a temporary directory. This directory is NOT deleted when the JVM stops, because using File#deleteOnExit() is evil (google "deleteonExit evil"). Copied from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/617414/create-a-temporary-directory-in-java :

1. deleteOnExit() only deletes for normal JVM shutdowns, not crashes or killing the JVM process
2. deleteOnExit() only deletes on JVM shutdown - not good for long running server processes because 3 :
3. The most evil of all - deleteOnExit() consumes memory for each temp file entry. If your process is running for months, or creates a lot of temp files in a short time, you consume memory and never release it until the JVM shuts down.

Throws:

IOException
