  +<p><strong>Unix Note:</strong> file permissions are not retained when files
  +are copied; they end up with the default UMASK permissions instead. This
  +is caused by the lack of any means to query or set file permissions in the
  +current Java runtimes. If you need a permission preserving copy function,
  +use &lt;exec executable="cp" ... &gt; instead.
