Default jar cache location is hardcoded to ~/.jenkins/cache/jars

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The default jar cache location is now hardcoded to ~/.jenkins/cache/jars which is a really bad idea for a big production environment with networked home directories and multiple accounts running slaves.

      This behaviour was introduced with this commit:
      https://github.com/jenkinsci/remoting/commit/b5145a06876f4390ef3229d70fa5a7edf0739dae

      This cache location needs to be configurable.

      A bonus would be if permissions within it were handled in a way that supports multiple accounts using it. That might be the case already though.
