------- Additional Comments From carej@us.ibm.com  2005-07-28 04:29 -------
Until we get a JDK that contains JSR 203
(http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=203) it's going to be very difficult (if
not impossible) for a pure Java application to set file permissions.

I would suggest that if you _really_ need to preserve file attributes that you
exec the proper native applications instead of using the corresponding Ant tasks.
