using ij in an ant task to create a database and nothing else

Someone asked me today how to create a database with ij in an ant task
by just using ij.database if they don't have any script to execute.  He
had implemented the following workaround to create a temporary file with
just "quit;" in it.


 <tempfile property="${TEMP_DIR}/quit.file"/>
        <echo file="${TEMP_DIR}/quit.file" message="quit;"/>
        <java classname="org.apache.derby.tools.ij" fork="true"
failonerror="${common.failonerror}" dir="${TEMP_DIR}">
            <jvmarg
value="-Djava.ext.dirs=${java.ext.dirs}${path.separator}${install.root}/derby/lib"
/>
            <jvmarg value="-Dij.protocol=jdbc:derby:" />
            <jvmarg value="-Dij.database=${DB_URL_EXEC};create=true" />
            <arg value="${TEMP_DIR}/quit.file" />
        </java>


But it seems like there should be a way to do this without creating the
temporary file.  ideas?

Thanks

Kathey
