jfxide directory being created in /tmp, instead of user`s TMPDIR env.variable

Dear Support,

I`ve just discovered that on linux the /jfxide directory is being created in the /tmp directory, with permission 755. This makes it impossible to use the same server with different user accounts. The first user who logs in to the Dukascopy platform will create the mentioned jfxide folder in /tmp, and this will block other users running strategies. Other users can login, but cannot run or compile strategies.
In Windows7, this directory structure is created under <User>\appdata\local\temp, which is user independent.


I tired to setup the TMPDIR environment variable, but it seems that the Dukascopy platform (or java itself?) is ignoring the TMPDIR setting, and creating everything in /tmp.


Solution:
Make the platform read and use the users` TMPDIR environment variable.

Workaround:
Manually delete the mentioned folder after the user finished his/her session. But this still doesn`t make it possible to use the same server with multiple users in the same time.


If there is another trick, please let me know.

Dear Support,

Could you confirm that is it a bug?
Or of it is `working as designed`, I will make a Feature Request to allow multiple users to run JForex platform on the same linux server simultaneously.
