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.

> 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.
