Method Detail

createTempFile

public File createTempFile(String prefix,
                           String suffix,
                           File dir)

This creates an empty temporary file with the specified prefix and suffix. If the suffix is null then ".tmp" will be used. If the dir is null, the system temporary folder will be used. Note that this method may return a file name that is different from the requested file name. This depends on the underlying system and how it provides temporary file support.

createTempFile

public File createTempFile(String fileName,
                           File dir)

This creates an empty file with a specific name in a temporary directory. If the file already exists in the directory it will be deleted and the new one will be created. If dir is null then the file will be created in the system temporary directory.
