tempfile task

Hi,
       I'm not clear with ANT documentation for 'tempfile' task . I'm using ANT 1.6.0,  the task definition is

     <tempfile destdir = "C:\temp" property = "proptemp" suffix = ".xml"/>
          Is any temporary file of xml type is created in the destdir,     when i tried to execute,  ANT shows BUILD successful but nothing happens.
  
      someone pls clarify

Vijay

I don't think the file is created until you *do* something to
create the file. However the <tempfile> task gives you a
unique name for your file. (This behavior is different from
the J2SE java.io temp file functionality...maybe that's the
confusion...)
