029/**
030 * Keeps track of files awaiting deletion, and deletes them when an associated
031 * marker object is reclaimed by the garbage collector.
032 * <p>
033 * This utility creates a background thread to handle file deletion.
034 * Each file to be deleted is registered with a handler object.
035 * When the handler object is garbage collected, the file is deleted.
036 * <p>
037 * In an environment with multiple class loaders (a servlet container, for
038 * example), you should consider stopping the background thread if it is no
039 * longer needed. This is done by invoking the method
040 * {@link #exitWhenFinished}, typically in
041 * {@code javax.servlet.ServletContextListener.contextDestroyed(javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent)} or similar.
