title: clear the java cache from the command line in linux
body: <p>The title says it all. I have to clear the java cache (to load a fresh version of an applet) from the command line, and the command line only, without any GUI.</p>
  
  <p>I tried something found here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/25807154/4142984">https://stackoverflow.com/a/25807154/4142984</a> </p>
  
  <pre><code>javaws -clearcache
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it opens a GUI that leads me to a window for the Java Control Panel.</p>
  
  <p>The window (seen remotely on a windows machine) is non-resizable, and the interesting buttons from "<em>Temporary Internet Files</em>" are not in the visible part of the window.</p>
