Java temporary file API filling-in JDK gaps and deficiencies.
Modules
Features
- Small and simple API for dealing with temporary files.
- Small footprint, self-contained, no transitive dependencies - not part of a big monolithic package.
- Java 1.8 implementation:
- Android compatible.
Motivation
The Java language has a long-term and well-documented memory leak when using File.deleteOnExit(). The bug report has been open for 14 years as of the time of this writing.
We desire to not have to choose between a memory leak and garbage files possibly left behind on shutdown, thus this API was born.
