DELETE_ON_CLOSE question

[Christian Ullenboom]

The documentation on DELETE_ON_CLOSE makes its clear that this option
is just a "best effort attempt to delete the file when closed by the
appropriate close method". But I expect somehow that the last exists()
return false and not true in the following example:

Path path = Paths.get( "opa.herbert.tmp" );
path.deleteIfExists();
System.out.println( path.exists() );  // false
path.newOutputStream().close();
System.out.println( path.exists() );  // true
path.newOutputStream( StandardOpenOption.DELETE_ON_CLOSE,
StandardOpenOption.SYNC ).close();

// File should be gone now, or?

System.out.println( path.exists() );  // true

I am using jdk-7-ea-bin-b67-windows-i586-30_jul_2009.

Thanks
