                 Key: DNA-238
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-238
             Project: DNA
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Development Environment
    Affects Versions: 0.2
            Reporter: Randall Hauch
            Assignee: Randall Hauch
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 0.3


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>
