| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p> |
| 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 with Java1.1. |
| It does not actually create the temporary file, but it does guarantee |
| that the file did not exist when the task was executed. |
