play2-war-plugin Change application path

Question

In the Play2-war-plugin source code, I saw this piece of code

  val applicationPath = Option(System.getProperty("user.home")).map(new File(_)).getOrElse(new File(""))

On my windows server, this is translated to c:\users\myloginuser

I would like my application to perform file operations under \webapps directory instead of users directory. Is there anyway to achieve this by using Play.application().path()?

You can try to change the user.home param while launching your app :

start -Duser.home=c:\users\myloginuser\webapps //not tested
