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);
}
}
}
