You've got a valid point here. However, there are still 24 mentions of "java.io.tmpdir" in the codebase, which is a good hint that we should at least think about that directory. > For example I'm quite happy to have a clean matterhorn each time I start my > computer when starting to develop.

There are two problems with this: First of all, the tmp directory is only cleared on *some* architectures, not on all. So we are looking at inconsistencies in behavior, which makes it hard for us to reproduce bugs related to it. Second, as a developer you should be able to setup your development environment as you need it, including or excluding cleanup on restart. What I am proposing is a solution that will make test deployments more stable. >From my point of view, we need to improve the installation experience at all >cost, developers will anyway invest much more time in their setup.
