Cache directory

Cache directory#

By default, cjdk uses the platform-dependent user cache directory to store downloaded JDKs and other data. The defaults are:

  • On Windows, %LOCALAPPDATA%\cjdk\cache, which is usually %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\cjdk\cache,

  • On macOS, ~/Library/Caches/cjdk, and

  • On other platforms, ~/.cache/cjdk or, if defined, $XDG_CACHE_HOME/cjdk.

You can override the default cache directory by setting the environment variable CJDK_CACHE_DIR.

You can safely delete the cache directory at any time, provided that cjdk and the JDKs installed by it are not in use.
