[dna-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (DNA-238) Maven build results in a lot of temporary files in "/tmp", but should instead use directory under "target"

Randall Hauch resolved DNA-238.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Done

Added system properties to have the temporary files be placed under the target directory (so they are properly cleaned up).  It'd be nice if they were placed under a subdirectory, but that's difficult to do (since the subdirectory doesn't exist).

> The Maven builds result in quite a few temporary files being created (perhaps by Jackrabbit and/or Derby) in "/tmp" (or wherever java.io.tmpdir points to).  This has been a problem on the Hudson boxes, but also it's not playing nice according to Maven.  (You'd think the Surefire plugin would default to having a temporary directory under "target", but evidently it doesn't.)
> To correct, we need to change the POM files so that the Surefire plugin does use a temporary directory underneath "target".  That way, everything is cleaned up.  This can be done by setting the standard system property on the plugin:
>       <plugin>
>         <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
>         <configuration>
>          ...
>           <systemProperties>
>             <property>
>               <name>java.io.tmpdir</name>
>               <value>${basedir}/target/temp</value>
>             </property>
>           </systemProperties>          
>          ...
>         </configuration>
>       </plugin>
