Native executable incorrectly yields /home/quarkus for System.getProperty("user.home")

[jvanzyl]

I have a native executable created by Quarkus, I have placed this native executable in a Docker image and I have a bit of code that uses System.getProperty("user.home") and it yields /home/quarkus even though I'm not running as the user quarkus and there isn't even a quarkus user in this image.

Is that just baked in and hard-code as part of making the image, can I change this somehow or preserve the normal lookup?

Here's the output (yes, this is running as root :-))

Same things happens onubuntu:latest and quarkus-micro-image:1.0, so it seems like it's the it's the native executable.

How are you getting the value ? don't request it in a static block.

Yup, I was doing this in a static context.
