Ignacio Taranto commented on IVY-1502:
--------------------------------------
Until this is properly implemented, is there any config flag I can add to
`JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS` (or similar) to change ivy's directory?
> Be a nice freedesktop citizen, move the ~/.ivy to the appropriate location
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: IVY-1502
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1502
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Environment: linux
> Reporter: PerfectCarl
> Priority: Minor
>
> According to the XDG specification [1], there is a better way to store the
> user specific data of an application by dumping in new hidden folder in ~/.
> More information about it can be found [2]
> The specification defines places to store the data so that the user profile
> can be updated and moved properly while reducing some weird bugs.
> Those places would be ~/.local/ivy or ~/.cache/ivy and other (depending on
> the data stored)
