Cannot change environment variable TEMP in Maven step #4371

I have the problem that I can not change the TEMP environment variable. As an example a simple Maven project

MavenHelpSystem.png

generates the following log output (I left out the irrelevant output now)
The WARN entries, are output from me to control which build parameters and environment variables I have passed.

Can or should the TEMP environment variable not be changed?

From the log output, the new temp directory is being passed correctly. Maybe Maven is not honoring this setting. Can you please run maven directly from command line by specifying -Djava.io.tmpDir="D:\Temp\HelloWorld" to see if it works?

Yes, it works, but it doesn't help me because some parts of our application access the TEMP environment variable.

But it is strange that you can set or change all environment variables but not the TEMP variable.

We are now trying to change this in our application.

As long as you can print the environment variables correctly, QB should have done its job as expected... I am not sure why it is not taking effect in your application. If you can create an example able to run at my side demonstrating the issue, I might be able to dig further...

It's ok, if I write TEMP in upper case then the environment variable is also set correctly. It's quite strange that on a Windows system upper lower case is taken notice.

Thanks
