--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> 2011-07-01 18:31:32 UTC ---
Java 7 doesn't help since Tomcat 7 must run on Java 6.

System.exec calls are incredibly fragile since they rely on correct OS
detection.

JNI requires a native library which (obviously) needs to be built for every
platform and adds a lot of overhead for relatively little benefit.

The current fall-back of using the user's home directory isn't great but it is
no worse (and may be slightly better) than using java.io.tmp.

Forcing basedir to be set and not starting if it isn't set is probably the best
option but that is something that probably needs to wait until Tomcat 8 since
changing this now is likely to lead to some unpleasant surprises for current
users.
