[jira] Created: (MASSEMBLY-229) Documentation of fileMode could be
improved to avoid user trip hazard
Documentation of fileMode could be improved to avoid user trip hazard
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-229
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-229
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Environment: n/a
Reporter: Kelvin Goodson
Priority: Minor
The website documentation for the fileMode parameter that occurs in a number of places in the assembly descriptor format description such as [1] does show a leading 0 for its values, but it isn't clear that this is to declare the value as octal. Anyone who is used to using the chmod command on *nix doesn't expect to have to prefix the octal value with a 0, and therefore might assume the 0 to be an insignificant digit. It would be helpful to add a comment in the descriptions of these parameters that the value is interpreted as decimal unless preceded by a leading 0 to indicate an octal value.
