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 Assignee: Rob Stryker Fix For: 4.2.0.CR1 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.
