Exception thrown while createNewFile()

[jaibhim max]

Hi All,

I am using windows 7 and trying to create a file .testBoringFile on my mounted drive "U:".
I wrote following code.

File tempfile = new File("U:\\sandbox\\.testBoringFile");
		
		try{

			if (tempfile.exists()) {
				tempfile.delete();
			}
			
			if (tempfile.createNewFile()) {
                        
                         }
                  }catch(Exception e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    }

.testBoringFile gets creates but an exception is thrown while executing"tempFile.createNewFile()".

java.io.IOException: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file
	at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
	at java.io.File.createNewFile(Unknown Source)

I referred following link, but doesn't get any useful info. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4857780


Can anyone please help me out?
