Hey @renatocaval, just wondering why you changed that. Are you sure $HOME/.cache/coursier is correct? Just checked with latest sbt 1.3.7, on my Ubuntu installation, coursier still uses ~/.coursier/cache/.
There are discussions about coursier's and sbt's cache locations (coursier/coursier#1483, sbt/sbt#3681), but nothing got merged yet (coursier/coursier#1484).
Or did I miss something?

Coursier uses ~/.coursier/cache if it's present, otherwise it uses ~/.cache/coursier on Linux, ~/Library/<something> on macOS, and something Windows-appropriate on Windows (i.e. platform-specific and platform-conforming directories).
coursier/coursier#1483 is about following XDG (Linux's standard) on all platform, ignoring what macOS and Windows platform observe, for the benefit of having the same path on any platform. But it does mention the ~/.coursier/cache vs ~/.cache/coursier (on Linux) backwards-compatible shim, and how it adds to an already complicated story (and so it should be removed).

👍 thanks for your explanation @dwijnand

However, I guess this behaviour was introduced after sbt 1.3.0, because as far as I remember I never used coursier before it got introduced with sbt 1.3.0 and therefore no ~/.coursier folder existed yet on my machine.

I think it got added to Coursier a few years ago, so I'm not too sure why/how/when it appeared on your box... Maybe sbt made integrated Coursier support wrong at the beginning.
