Review Comment:
The `artemis-commons` module does have a handful of dependencies, but the
important part is that it doesn't depend on any other Artemis modules (aside
from logging which isn't really a concern). The whole notion of a "commons"
module is that it allows modules to share classes when otherwise there would be
problems with circular or otherwise unwanted dependencies. By making
`artemis-commons` depend on `artemis-boot` you're now adding `artemis-boot` as
a transitive dependency to anything that depends on `artemis-commons`.
At the end of the day the dependency only exists for a constant defining
`java.io.tmpdir` which is a [well-known Java system
property](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()).
In my opinion we should just use the literal `"java.io.tmpdir"` in both places
and dispense with the constant and the new dependency. We use literals like
this for well-known Java system properties in a number of places in the
code-base so a precedent exists.
It's also worth noting that the class in `artemis-commons` which uses the
constant from `artemis-boot` (i.e.
`org.apache.activemq.artemis.utils.SpawnedVMSupport`) is only used in tests.
That class should probably be moved to a test-specific module (e.g.
`artemis-unit-test-support`) if possible.
