class Rake::FileCreationTask

A FileCreationTask is a file task that when used as a dependency will be needed if and only if the file has not been created. Once created, it is not re-triggered if any of its dependencies are newer, nor does trigger any rebuilds of tasks that depend on it whenever it is updated.
