Where Chris suggests to use /tmp as default. test.build.data should always be
set to build/test/data by ant, shouldn't it?
> Standardize fall-back value of test.build.data for testing directories

> Currently when the test.build.data property is not set, as happens when run
> through some configurations of Eclipse, the fall-back value varies wildly.
> Most calls set to /tmp, which is not good as it is beyond the scope of the
> ant clean task and thus will not be deleted. Others default to "." which can
> drop the test files right in the current directory. Speaking with Konstanin,
> it seems the correct location should be "build/test/data" to ensure any files
> that are created are within the scope of Ant's clean command.
> Attached is the current variation in this setting.
