The SwingApps codes above do not produce any errors becuase you need to check the return value on file.createNewFile().

Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.

  The code below should work as announced:
  
  
private void initialize() {
// add shutdown hook
final MyShutdownHook shutdownHook = new MyShutdownHook();
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(shutdownHook);
final File file = new File(dir, filename);

try {
System.out.println("Creating temporary file: ");
System.out.println(dir);
System.out.println(filename);
try {
if (! file.createNewFile()) throw new IOException();
} catch (final IOException e) {
System.out.println("Failed creating temporary file.");
System.exit(1);
}
}
}
