Ah, interesting. The "userdir/var/cache" location is a default location that is used if no cache dir is specified, I think. And previously the launch script did not propagate the cache dir setting properly, so it always ended up there.
The same behavior occurs on MacOS, where the cache directory ends up being ~/Library/Caches/appname/dev (when run from the IDE). When running from the IDE it would probably be best to keep it under the "target" directory somewhere, yes, so that it is properly cleaned during a clean build. Though at least I think it still uses the "dev" folder. Are you using Maven or Ant to run your app? (I'm using Maven myself.) Probably somewhere in the IDE platform app running actions (maven plugin?) the cachedir for IDE runs should be set explicitly, like the userdir is. (I won't have time to work on this now, but feel free to investigate.) -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Patrik Karlström <pat...@trixon.se> Sent: Tuesday, December 1, 2020 10:48 AM To: dev@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Re: DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT not propagating to platform application Hi Eirik, I just noticed that when using RELEASE121 the cache dir is no longer where it used to be when starting the application from the IDE. On Linux it used to be "application/target/userdir/var/cache/" but since RELEASE121 it's /home/pata/.cache/appname/. On Windows it's still "application/target/userdir/var/cache/" for RELEASE121. I think this is related to my original post but I'm not sure.
