emilianbold commented on issue #329: Setting tmp directory URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/329#issuecomment-353310717 At patch level, it might be better to define a netbeans_default_tmpdir next to netbeans_default_cachedir above. I feel conflictual about this fix. On one side, it's good that NetBeans started respecting the OS cache dir. Long ago it did not and it was annoying on macOS, for example, because the user couldn't decide which data is safe to remove (to recover disk space) and which not. I also assume a lot of useless cache got backed up to Time Machine which is not good. macOS is pretty OK about setting (and clearing) the temp folder and it's rarely on another partition. On the other hand I can see how from a configuration or security standpoint it might be good not to have NetBeans leak files into various folders. But it feels like a user-configuration thing. (2GB for a temp folder doesn't seem like much, I'll compare with my machines). So, speaking of NETBEANS-210 I believe NetBeans should have some better user level message about needing extra disk space (it probably throws some error, no?). In order to help the (minority, I guess, of) users that are in this situation the script could use netbeans_default_tmpdir but initialize it by default with $TMPDIR. Thus, nothing should change for existing users. But users with smaller $TMPDIRs would just tweak netbeans_default_tmpdir in the script instead of learning about `java.io.tmpdir` and -J-D
