Description Jochen Schwarze 2003-05-08 14:35:55 UTC 
Various compile tasks create temp files in the current working directory (via 
the user.dir system property, see method org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.
compilers.DefaultCompilerAdapter.executeExternalCompile). There should be a way 
to define a different temp directory here (or use the java.io.tmpdir directory 
from Java 1.2 on). 




In a server installation with a bundled Ant, or in networked build environments, 
the current working directory may be read-only (eg, some /opt/... path).




The same is probably true for other tasks that use the org.apache.tools.ant.
taskdefs.FileUtils.createTempFile method with a null directory, like javadoc, 
cvstagdiff, and cab.

tempdir attribute in <javac> appears in nightly build 2003-05-16.
