Ability to change location of ~/.npm ~/.cache ~/.config and ~/.local to maven output directory

[dantran]

Since this plugin is set up to be self contained ( ie not depend on global node and npm), it would be nice to be able to confgure those directories as well. Those are created by UI build stack

What? Does npm really make all these?

[dantran]

~/.npm is the default of npm cache directory. on CI server, dont think we want to share this
.cache .local and .config are from bower.

user can change these locations using various command line settings and env variable.

Use
XDG_DATA_HOME=xxx to change ~/.local
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=xxx to change ~/.config

I think IF this plugin allows user to configure ENV vars, user can solve this on their own. However, it is even better if this can plugin can just abstract out all this settings

Is it possible to configure it in .npmrc and .bowerrc, inside the project directory?

yes, I can configure npm and bower cach dir using .npmrc and .bowerrc, but not with bower's .local and .config. I am currently using ENV instead

Also, I dont own the UI stack, i only own the Maven for releng, sometime it is very difficult to overwrite existing .npmrc at project level. having ENV support is a safe heaven for me

I post a questions at bower user group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/twitter-bower/ot3R01Mnj70
