> The recent refactoring to all the create temp file/dir functions (which is great!) has a minor regression from what existed before.  With the old {{LuceneTestCase.TEMP_DIR}}, the directory was created if it did not exist.  So, if you set {{java.io.tmpdir}} to {{"./temp"}}, then it would create that dir within the per jvm working dir.  However, {{getBaseTempDirForClass()}} now does asserts that check the dir exists, is a dir, and is writeable.
> Lucene uses {{"."}} as {{java.io.tmpdir}}.  Then in the test security manager, the per jvm cwd has read/write/execute permissions.  However, this allows tests to write to their cwd, which I'm trying to protect against (by setting cwd to read/execute in my test security manager).
