+<h2><a name="tmpdir">Temporary Directories</a></h2>
+
+Some Ant tasks and types need to create temporary files. By default
+they use the default temporary directory of the Java VM they are
+running in - which can be set by setting the system
+property <code>java.io.tmpdir</code>. The default value of it depends
+on the platform and the JVM implementation.</p>
+
+<p>Setting a system property when invoking Ant is not straight forward
+  as the corresponding command line arguments must be sent to the Java
+  executable rather than Ant's main class. When using
+  the <code>ant(.cmd)</code> wrapper scripts you can do so with the
+  help of the <code>ANT_OPTS</code> environment variable.</p>
+
+<p>Starting with Ant 1.9.15 we've introduced a new Ant
+  property <code>ant.tmpdir</code> that takes precedence
+  over <code>java.io.tmpdir</code> when set. As this is a normal Ant
+  property it can be set via the command line or even from within a
+  build file.</p>
+
+<p>Tasks and types using the temporary directory will state the fact
+  inside of their respective manual page. In addition every execution
+  of an external command on OpenVMS will create a temporary file
+  holding a DCL script that invokes the actual command.</p>
+
+<p>Tasks not provided with the Ant distribution will ignore
+  the <code>ant.tmpdir</code> property and
+  use <code>java.io.tmpdir</code> unless they have been adapted to the
+  changed API of Ant 1.9.15.</p>
