localcache is a Capsule caplet which relocates the capsule cache directory to be co-located with the capsule jar file.

This caplet allows you to remove a Capsule and all it's extracted resources by deleting the directory containing your Capsule jar file.
By design, Capsule's internals are locked-down. This caplet uses reflection to manipulate the static value that specifies the cache directory.
This caplet is built against Capsule 1.0.1 but it is a fragile workaround for a missing feature in core Capsule.
Add the dependency to your capsule application.
