Description

Our Jenkins jobs are failing every other day, basically whenever we run on a solaris box, and they are failing specifically in the following tests (e.g., see: https://builds.apache.org/job/oodt-trunk/5/)

https://builds.apache.org/job/oodt-trunk/5/org.apache.oodt$cas-metadata/testReport/
https://builds.apache.org/job/oodt-trunk/5/org.apache.oodt$oodt-commons/
https://builds.apache.org/job/oodt-trunk/5/org.apache.oodt$cas-protocol-sftp/console

Basically as pointed out by Olivier Lamy on builds@:

http://s.apache.org/XvJ

We can fix this with a custom Maven surefire-test declaration for the java.io.tmpdir property:

 <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.9</version>
          <configuration>
            ....
            <systemPropertyVariables>
              <java.io.tmpdir>${project.build.outputDirectory}</java.io.tmpdir>
            </systemPropertyVariables>
            ....
          </configuration>
        </plugin>
