[jira] (MASSEMBLY-668) Provide a way to optionally set owner and group of archive files as tar does

Steve Cohen commented on MASSEMBLY-668:
---------------------------------------

Please close this issue.  I no longer think this is worth pursuing, given the fact that it flies in the face of unix prohibition of anyone but root being able to change file ownership.

> Why isn't there a way to set the ownership of files packaged by the assembly plugin, similar to how it allows you to set permissions?
> The unix tar program offers --user= and --group=.  It would be nice if there were a way to do this in the assembly plugin
