getDirectory("temp") != /tmp/ anymore

Hi,
I think since I updated to the current java version (see below) the macro command getDirectory("temp") does not yield "/tmp/" anymore but some arbitrary path like "/var/folders/C-/C-bqCJHiFxOuNwlNmBmRG1UNxXY/-Tmp-/".
This is rather inconvenient, because I write temporary files to the result of getDirectory("temp") and the arbitrary path appears to be dependent to the instance of imagej/fiji. By this I can not exchange temporary files from one instance to the other anymore. In the moment I worked around this by hard coding to /tmp/ but I am afraid that this will not be accepted on other systems.

Is there a way to get back the old behavior of getDirectory("temp")?
