This is why I think it makes more sense to use our own java.io.tmpdir to be on the safe side.
I think the bug is that Tomcat changes java.io.tmpdir. I thought that the point of the system property java.io.tmpdir was to have a portable name for /tmp on unix, c:\windows\tmp on Windows, etc. Tomcat breaks that. So must Lucene have its own way of finding the platform-specific temporary directory that everyone can write to? Perhaps, but it seems a shame, since Java already has a standard mechanism for this, which Tomcat abuses...
I've seen this done in other places as well. I think Weblogic did/does it. I'm wondering what some of these big EJB containsers use which is why I brought this up. I'm not sure the problem is just with Tomcat.
