Mill creates a rt-21.0.5.jar file under home directory

[dragove]

Mill creates a rt-21.0.5.jar file in home directory on Linux. This behavior occurs in versions 0.12.3 and 0.12.4, but it doesn't seem to happen in earlier versions.

mill script is installed via

curl -L https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/mill/releases/download/0.12.4/0.12.4 > mill && chmod +x mill

my environment:

OS: Arch Linux
Scala Version: 3.6.2

I also found some rt-<version>.jar files in my home dir.

I just touch the rt-<version>.jar to avoid this creation, see here...

It seems to create a jar corresponding to the JDK used. I've different JDKs for different projects, and Mill creates one for each. This is ugly, I don't want it to clutter my home directory.

Yes this is definitely a bug and regression somewhere, we used to put it in ~/.mill but somewhere along we messed up the logic

IIRC we use the location associated with Ctx.home and the --home option, which should default to $HOME/.mill/ammonite. We deprecated it for a while, since it was assumed an Ammonite legacy. I don't know why it's created in the home directory though.
