Ant 1.8 unzip does not preserve permissions!

[ilke Muhtaroglu]

When I unzip with ant command

<unzip src="${app.server.zip.name}" dest="${ext.work.dir}" />

I see the resulting directory does not have the permissions preserved in
linux environment.

At http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/zip.html I see there is an option
"preserve0permissions"...I have an already zipped directory with permissions
adjusted and when I unzip it using ubuntu's unzip It preserves the
permissions but unzip element in ant does not have a permission preserving
option and it results a directory with unpreserved permissions...

This is true. The unzip task doesn't do anything with permissions and
the manual page even says so

,----
| File permissions will not be restored on extracted files.

It is the zip task, not the unzip task. And it applies to permissions
read from a different archive when you use the zip task to
repackage/merge archives.

Ant is capable of dealing with permissions inside ZIP and TAR archives
but not on the file system. The latter isn't going to change until the
tasks can run on NIO2 and Java7 because the Java File API currently
simply doesn't provide the means we'd need.

<chmod> may be helpful.

What I do is use the exec task and use the tar command. In order to make it cross platform, I use bsdtar which I was able to find a version for all of our supported platforms. The bsdtar command has compression support so the generated tar both preserves the file permissions AND is compressed like zip would be.
