I definitely like the idea of starting Felix without specifying any profile information, but I don't like programs writing to CWD. It's very easy to forget to delete such directories and several such directories are scattered through out the file system. A better alternative is to write to either a default directory inside felix installation directory or in /tmp. More over, when Felix is started without any profile or cache dir information, the default behavior should be to flush the cache upon restart. So, may be Felix can create a temporary cache dir at startup and deleting it at program exit.
As I mentioned in a separate message, I am not keen on a global default. With configuration properties, it would be very easy to achieve what you want, even with the current implementation.
Regarding cache flush, like Marcel, I don't think it should be the default behavior, but it could certainly be a configurable option.
Regarding the purpose of this thread, I certainly don't mind hearing people's opinions. I know this issue will likely be a bike shed issue, but mostly I want to make sure that the community isn't totally against changes in this area. I will listen to people's opinions and try to do something reasonable.
