    Hi folks,

    Maven produces ziptards ( ziptard, noun, a compressed representation of a directory produced by tar-ing and gzipping the tar representaion of the directory) of one's application, which doesn't have the necessary executable bits set on the shell script that launches the application.

    If one unzips and un-tars the maven produced artifact, it won't launch. However, in the /target directory, the application.WOA, has the executable bit set on the script. If you look further into the ziptard's unzipped application in the directory /contents/MacOS/Launch-script, that script also does not have the executable bit set.

    Mr. Wotaskd is having a difficult day.

    Should not these bits be set? Ziptards seem like a good way to copy the app and resources around. Is there a reason they should not be set?

    Thanks,
