Relocate "gwt-unitCache" directory

GWT will generated a gwt-unitCache directory with some cache files. After couple of days of working, the directory might produce over 1GB cache files. I am afraid to generate these files might damage my SSD harddisk.

I have created a 2GB ramdisk for storing temp files. My question is if it is possible to relocate the gwt-unitCache directory?

Solution

  • Add '<sysproperty key="gwt.persistentunitcachedir" value="cache_dir"/>' to the gwtc task in build.xml

    I tried to use ${env.TEMP} instead of pointing to a physical path, but saw some random IO issues of java.

    --OR--

    Add '<sysproperty key="gwt.persistentunitcache" value="false"/>' to the gwtc task in build.xml

    Disable create any cache files, which this is a little bit slower.
