Description
@technobirb you can modify the [JavaOptions] section in the .cfg file. You can also place an additional config file in your system https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8287060
@arnaumas This works also for mac
(make sure to copy JabRef's one with all the options
The other idea is to probably switch the variable for the user directroy:
[JavaOptions] java-options=-Djavafx.cachedir=/Path/To/Your/direcotry java-options=-Duser.home=/path/to/my/new/home/dir

Research direction
Locate the FAQ section in the JabRef user documentation and review nearby entries about configuration or cache directories. Add an entry explaining how to switch the JavaFX cache directory, including the .cfg JavaOptions example and the referenced OpenJDK guidance; the FAQ should clearly cover the reported macOS case as well.
