* Keeps track of files awaiting deletion, and deletes them when an associated

*
* In an environment with multiple class loaders (a servlet container, for
* example), you should consider stopping the background thread if it is no
* longer needed. This is done by invoking the method
* {@link #exitWhenFinished}, typically in
* {@code javax.servlet.ServletContextListener.contextDestroyed(javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent)} or similar.

* Call this method to cause the file cleaner thread to terminate when

* In a simple environment, you don't need this method as the file cleaner
* thread will simply exit when the JVM exits. In a more complex environment,
* with multiple class loaders (such as an application server), you should be
* aware that the file cleaner thread will continue running even if the class
* loader it was started from terminates. This can constitute a memory leak.
*
* For example, suppose that you have developed a web application, which
* contains the commons-io jar file in your WEB-INF/lib directory. In other
* words, the FileCleaner class is loaded through the class loader of your
* web application. If the web application is terminated, but the servlet
* container is still running, then the file cleaner thread will still exist,
* posing a memory leak.
*
* This method allows the thread to be terminated. Simply call this method
* in the resource cleanup code, such as
* {@code javax.servlet.ServletContextListener.contextDestroyed(javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent)}.
* One called, no new objects can be tracked by the file cleaner.
