- The local data directory (tools, language servers, index caches) is resolved in one place, ide_host::data_dirs::local_data_dir - The variable must be an absolute path; a missing directory is created, and an unwritable one exits with an error instead of falling back to the system default - Config and log directories still follow the system - Add docs/data-directories.md Co-authored-by: LU XIANGRUI <[email protected]>

Data directories
OpenIDEA keeps its rebuildable data, such as downloaded tools, language servers, JDKs and index caches, in the operating system's local data directory:
- Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ai.l0ng.openidea - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/ai.l0ng.openidea - Linux:
~/.local/share/ai.l0ng.openidea
To keep this data elsewhere, for example on another drive, set
OPENIDEA_LOCAL_DATA_DIR to an absolute path before starting OpenIDEA. The IDE
then uses <OPENIDEA_LOCAL_DATA_DIR>/ai.l0ng.openidea and creates it when
missing. If the path is relative or cannot be written, OpenIDEA shows an error
and exits instead of falling back to the default location.
setx OPENIDEA_LOCAL_DATA_DIR "E:\OpenIDEA"
Settings, plugins, scratches and other user data stay in the operating system's data and configuration directories. Logs stay in their usual location, so they are still written when the variable is wrong. Existing data is not moved: quit OpenIDEA and move the old directory's contents to the new location, or let the IDE download tools and rebuild indexes again.
