Hi guys

According to the wiki
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Common_headless_flags_(Buckminster)) I should
be able to set buckminsters temporary directory using --tempdir.
However, using --tempdir results in the following error:
org.eclipse.buckminster.cmdline.parser.InvalidOptionExceptio n: The
option '--tmpdir' is invalid

I'm guessing there is a newer way to specify the temporary directory;
how should I spectify the tempdir?

Regards
Doug

I think that's a bug in the documentation. The tempdir is derived using
the Java System property java.io.tmpdir and then stored in another
property name "buckminster.temp" as ${java.io.tmpdir}/buckminster/temp.
There is no specific option to set it but you can set it yourself by
either using the vm arguments such as
"-Djava.io.tmpdir=/your/general/temp" or
"-Dbuckminster.temp=/your/explicit/bmtemp", or by providing a property
file "--properties <filename>" to the perform command.

I'll have a look at the wiki.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
