Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-17148:
-------------------------------------

> using a cryptic name

I don't have a problem with the cryptic name since it's purely an internal location. But I agree with all the rest.

> There are a few things I'd like to see improved in the URL Transport API, wrt caching.
> Currently :
> * all files are downloaded and cached under <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.jboss.tools.foundation.core/ECF_REMOTE_CACHE, using a cryptic name
> * Cache doesn't survive JVM restart
> What I need/expect :
> * ability to set custom cache folder 
> * store files under <cache.folder>/requested.url. eg. : if I request https://foo.bar.org:8080/some/location/file.txt, it'll be stored under  <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/my.plugin/cache/http_foo.bar.org_8080/some/location/file.txt
> * restarting the IDE will be able to read the cached file
> Currently URLTransportCache is a singleton. We could change that and add the cache location as a constructor argument, have a URLTransportCache.DEFAULT instance, used by URLTransportUtility and probably override 
> {quote}
> public File getCachedFileForURL(String url, String displayName, int lifespan, IProgressMonitor monitor) 
> {quote}
> with 
> {quote}
> public File getCachedFileForURL(String url, String displayName, URLTransportCache transportCache, IProgressMonitor monitor) 
> {quote}
> Or if you have any better idea, be my guest :-)
