Lars Heinemann commented on JBIDE-17213:
----------------------------------------
On Kubuntu the value of java.io.tmpdir is "/tmp" which makes not big sense. So
we should somehow test for that and use a fallback folder if its not writable. Updated the
issue text.
Improve the default value of Download folder in the download runtimes
wizard

Key: JBIDE-17213
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17213
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: runtime-detection
Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta1
Environment: Kubuntu 13.10
Reporter: Lars Heinemann
Attachments: jbt_downloadruntime.png
The download folder defaults to /tmp folder. That is on Kubuntu and maybe Ubuntu as well
a bad choice as only root can write to that folder. The folder /var/tmp/ is the better
choice on this OS.
I would propose to use java.io.tmpdir for the default value if possible and check if that
is writable for the user. If thats not the case we should have some fallback folder.
