I don't agree that this would make the code easier to read or maintain.
I should, however, include a comment saying that the file is always in
/tmp regardless of the value of java.io.tmpdir.
Staffan: I still think changing the static field tmpdir to refer to
"/tmp" is cleaner then putting "/tmp" in all the use-sites.
/tmp is common but not mandatory, especially if we speak about embedded
systems.
Dmitry: The point is that the VM will always put the file in /tmp.
That's wrong but the issue here is making the management Java code match
the hotspot code.
Native code should use P_tmpdir constant from stdio.h rather than
hardcode "/tmp".
As we can't access it from java I recommend to create a global constant
somewhere to reduce possible future porting efforts.
Changing the tmpdir static would be a smaller fix, but all the cwd code
would then remain. Yes, HotSpot never writes to cwd.
I agree with Staffan, that looks for socket/door in cwd should be removed.
Ok, if it is never needed then remove it.
