Agreed.

> Java 7 doesn't help since Tomcat 7 must run on Java 6.

> 
> 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.
